just having fun. time goes by easier when I'm soaked up in the tunes. Cincinnati since my mama had me.... all hustle no luck... nah i got some luck. i just like to experiment with sound... werd. i know my songs need mastering... I'm working on them still. the mastering is hard

A little bit of this, a little bit of that. I listen to an incredibly eclectic mix of music, mostly folk, electronic, and classical. 


Take rock music. Throw in some psychedelica, a pinch of prog, add a touch of alt, and you still only made it half way to SHOZO. Complex and compelling.

Biography
SHOZO began with the Traveler through Space and Time who lost the one woman he loved while gone traveling through the universe. When he returned to Earth he found the violent dying world of the 22nd century. The Traveler was blinded by a supernova and found The Electric Executive, a brilliant computer genius trapped in a computer body living in 22nd century Tokyo.The Electric Executive gives the Traveler the ability to see through time and space, and together they escape the confines of The Executive’s company, which has taken power from him and seeks to control the world through technology. The Executive and The Traveler’s quest leads them to seek the aid of powerful ex mob Yakuza mob boss turned Egoless Monk. The Monk and his followers give protection and help the Traveler and Executive escape to the Snowy mountains of Hokkaido, Japan, where they seek the help of a clan of Yeti’s who have sworn allegiance to the Monks. One Yeti that is good with electronics offers to help them and joins there quest for justice. All four members seek out the Executive’s Corporation and have hostile takeover of it.In the process they trigger a massive reality altering computer and are shot through out all time and space , with the traveler as their guide. Through the giant cycle of existence and despite being prisoners of reality, our heroes have been reincarnated as a rock band in the 21st century. Now that they have gained enlightenment and their identities back , our heroes seek to take back their empire and end suffering with their music.
