I often get asked: “so what kind of music do you make?” and man, I haven’t found the right response. Maybe my most honest answer is: I don’t know yet?

Some say they hear <a href="spotify:artist:0YrtvWJMgSdVrk3SfNjTbx" data-name="Death Cab for Cutie">Death Cab for Cutie</a>. One guy said he hears <a href="spotify:artist:2iM28IgKg89v1o7BTQAVPo" data-name="Bruce Hornsby">Bruce Hornsby</a>, meets <a href="spotify:artist:3eqjTLE0HfPfh78zjh6TqT" data-name="Bruce Springsteen">Bruce Springsteen</a> (the Bruces should be a band!)

Another friend said “it’s a bit like <a href="spotify:artist:3gIRvgZssIb9aiirIg0nI3" data-name="Jeremy Zucker">Jeremy Zucker</a> meets “grocery store pop” (maybe a new genre, there)

All the above artists have huge stamps imprinted on my musical soul, along with the talented songwriters of today like <a href="spotify:artist:34482S5nfxR441wcnVfrHi" data-name="Noah Gundersen">Noah Gundersen</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:55tif8708yyDQlSjh3Trdu" data-name="Ben Folds">Ben Folds</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4SOtk3HtPYKqxnVuxNBMti" data-name="Donovan Woods">Donovan Woods</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:06HL4z0CvFAxyc27GXpf02" data-name="Taylor Swift">Taylor Swift</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0rZp7G3gIH6WkyeXbrZnGi" data-name="Novo Amor">Novo Amor</a> (to just name a few)

It feels weird to even write all those names and insinuate that I’m remotely in the same category of success. I’m not; but what we do have in common is that we all started. So, welcome to my somewhere.
