I write about my music, and about what works and what doesn't when you're doing everything yourself the indie way. Here you can listen to my songs and read about my progress towards full time musicianship.

I am so impressed with the music in this amazing blog. The author not only adds humor and quirky stuff in his writing, he also adds beautifully crafted original compositions.

What an amazing blog--I am so impressed with the music. I am listening to the song, "Tomorrow" as I am writing this. This is most definitely a blog I will be following--and a musician to keep an eye on.

Content - (6/5!!)
Six out of five stars for content. phenomenal! Amazing stories and educational resources!

Design - 4/5
Easy navigation, simple design. However, I'm not a fan of the body-background. The cloudy texture does not fit. Also, I feel there should be a picture of you or your craft in the header image. At the very least, some visual to tell a little about who you are and what you do, even if it's artistic.

You've got a really good thing going on, and five stars is deserving of you!
