I started composing at the age of 14 in 1990, because David Bowie inspired me to

I've had some tracks used in indie movies and local ads, so it hasn't been a complete commercial failure, but that's not really what I care about right now.

Ziggy Stardust and Hunky Dory have a huge place in my mental/emotional history. Along with Swordfishtrombones those were the albums that convinced me that it was a Good Thing to get music that is inside of you out on paper and recorded. It may not be something many people like, but maybe someone will.

Thank you, David Bowie.
