About

My antecedents are the jazz and poetry experiments of the beat generation, but I take both the music and the poetry into different directions than theirs. Unlike beat poetry, which reads like lines of jazz improvisations, my lyrics are direct and conservative, the love children of Eliot and Dickinson. If there was a moment in time when poetry and jazz veered off into rap and hip hop, I took that same highway but took the exit marked EDM. As a result, I am exploring new dimensions in poetry and music in search of the best ways to blend words and music in order to say the things I want to say.
