I've been releasing music for free for 10 years, but only just decided to put stuff up on YouTube.
I'm a composer, arranger, sound designer, and "things in flatbread" (tacos, gyros, falafel, etc) enthusiast. I do the first three things professionally, in order to finance the fourth.

About Me:
My career depends on versatility, and I try to faithfully reproduce any genre I attempt, through obsessive analysis and respect for those who have mastered their styles.
I'm always terrified of being asked what kind of music I write. Having to explain that yesterday I wrote a speed metal song using a Game Boy, and today I'm writing a disco ballad about frosted cereal.. it's awkward at the best of times. I wish I could just say "Gypsy Jazz." or "Mostly Flamenco, with some Enka here and there." You know, maybe I will, from now on.
Rather than innovating or expressing deep emotions, I approach music as a way to make people laugh or smile. My favorite musicians are those who take their technique seriously, but not themselves.
I hope I can leave some kind of positive mark on the world, but if not, at least I'm loving life and I have awesome friends. Can't ask for much more than that.
Record Label:
Big Lion Music
Label Type:
Unsigned
Band Members:
Jake Kaufman
Influences:
There are a lot of freaking brilliant musicians, and I have studied and gleaned technique from hundreds, probably thousands, of them. Every time I hear music I am learning, analyzing, making connections -- whether it's Cookie Monster or Beethoven.
Sounds Like:
In theory, all of the above. In practice, kind of a midi-fied home-studio version of same. Waiting for access to real studio engineers and stuff. They are miracle workers.

United States
