i am not the SUM OF MY ACTIONS, and yet someone always asks...

i've been performing since 2007. when i graduated from brown in '05 i was confused about THE NEXT STEP. so, i went on a 4-month long soul-searching trip around the pacific rim. completely alone and away from everything familiar, i realized the only thing i missed was making music. a friend of the family set up a meeting for me with jerry lieber and mike stoller ( i.e. songwriters for peggy lee and elvis) to sit in a room with such legendary figures, seriously discussing my career and music... it propelled me.
