"...these things can take their toll sometimes / and I know you feel the same way too / it just gets so hard to keep between the ditches / when the roads wind the way they do..." - Drive-By Truckers

I'm a singer / MC from Southern California with colder blood in his veins who makes hyper referential hip-hop music and sugary power pop.

My day-to-day is spent being a slave to the following:

- Collecting music (with an emphasis on vinyl and MP3)
- Musicals / musical theater
- Contemplative foreign cinema and surreal art films
- Horror flicks (cerebral, visceral, goofy, serious...I like 'em all, baby)
- Hip-Hop 'n Power Pop
- Comic books that aren't about superheroes
- Mi familia, my musical muses
- Animation in any form (the one talent I've always wanted to learn, but know I never could)
- Documentaries about fascinating and / or depressing subjects
- D&D 'n RPG
