Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember my father, a very good self taught piano player, noodling melodies and chords from popular 1950s Broadway musicals, and my mother singing along.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bob Dylan, The Times They Are A-Changin' Steely Dan, Pretzel Logic (Reissue) The Byrds, Mr. Tambourine Man Reissue Edition with Bonus Tracks I loved folk, loved rock, and loved Dylan. Mr Tambourine Man not only combined all 3, it launched a whole new sub genre of music, folk rock.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” The title came to me in a profound moment of pushing back against a world where every door I knocked on seemed locked. Giving up on a career in music seemed a depressing near certainty. As it turned out, pushing back in song was a pretty good idea.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Like every music creator, the goal is always to continue to write better songs. I've been fortunate enough to have a 50 year career as a songwriter but throughout it all, that objective has never changed.
