(Chronological order in parenthesis)
I would describe myself as a lyric oriented songwriter with dark lyrics. A little bit of a simple melody writer with simple lyrics mixed in with surreal & cryptic lyrics, heavy & deep lyrics, other-worldly lyrics & some mind-bending concepts of songs. My lyrics can veer back & forth between literal & abstract visions of the world, between the real & the surreal, between a flippant attitude & serious social commentary.

RED – understanding the context of these songs is imperative to understanding the artistic perspective and the artistic interpretation of the song
NOTE: In today’s turbulent & violent times, I’d like to point out & clarify that I do not write about violence. I do not write about suicide. But I do write dark lyrics about dark thoughts and some of my songs are from extreme emotions.
Some of my songs are written from extreme points of view. And, as an artist who sees the world from many realms, I don’t put rules or restrictions on psychological perspectives from which I write.
