Why do you write songs?
Cause I love it! It has to be one of the best jobs in the world! Now if I could only get paid once in awhile.
Who are your main influences?
There has been one person that has continued to inspire and encourage me and that is JASON BLUME! His classes have improved my writing tremendously! He also has taught me NOT TO GIVE UP-no matter what! So I am hanging in there. I'll stop pitching my songs when I die (and then hopefully someone else will do it then! I also admire Brad Paisley and Sheryl Crow because they can write, play, perform, and touch you with their songs. Multi-talented people!
