I have been writing songs, poems and short stories since I was in my teens. My lyrics cover a wide range of genres, from love songs to dream and avant-garde to rock.
My literary influences, among many, are the authors James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Marcel Proust and Milan Kundera. I find their stream of consciousness style of writing very inspirational as regards my lyric writing.
Among the Songwriters who have influenced me are Leonard Cohen, Marvin Gaye, Carole King and Brian Eno. I feel their lyrics go to the very heart and soul of humanity.
