I have lived a nontraditional life for a musician which I believe has given me a distinct voice - I have a PhD in Electrical Engineering and work in the semiconductor industry. I have lived in Boulder, San Jose, Los Angeles, and now Grass Valley, which is a small forested hippie town. My musical interests range from Tchaikovsky to The Beatles, The Doors, The Cure, Metric and Tipper. I have been compared to many artists, but my favorite description was a cross between David Bowie and Depeche Mode.
