Singer/Songwriter from the U.S. living in California. I first started busking in San Francisco's Tenderloin district and there I met a homeless man who called himself Sunshine Bear. He had a dog, a beaten down guitar, and a shopping cart filled with food for his dog and himself. I sat down with my guitar, we shared food and we played music together off Union Square. I kept seeing him day by day and playing music with him sharing money we made and food and after sometime he had heard a few of my songs. He told me "You know you're music is really unique like psychotic but poppy, its like dark psychopath pop!"
         Every since that day that's exactly how I would describe my music. When I played gigs or busked in Austin people would ask me to label myself, I would say "I'm like a much sadder meaner Jack Johnson."
              I live in the East Bay (Oakland, CA) Area now. If anyone reading knows the music scene here on the East Bay or Bay Area shoot me a message and let me know whats up. Anything like if you know good spots, venues, mangers, booking people, ect. If anybody playing music or producing it wants to collaborate let me know! I'm not online all the time but I will try to respond as soon as I can. To all the other musicians out there and around the world playing in different genre's I want to say keep making music. Labels are for the birds so just keep playing from the heart and you'll catch someone's attention. Even if it's just one person patting you on the back, if music is your passion its worth it.
