Growing up, music was a major part of my life. I wrote my first lyrics when I was seven and my parents had just divorced. I never wrote it down, I just sang it to myself when I was alone. As a child who struggled with dyslexia, word-play and twisted rhymes have always been comforting to me.
Over the years, my poetry has taken on more of a dark and satirical vibe. Writing about injustice, greed, the destruction of nature, abstract human nature, the surreal, the underground, and the daily comedy of errors.
"I'll start off by saying I'm not much of a poetry person but I might be one now... This book is witty, dark and accurate. "Squeezes" is dog eared and I revisit it constantly. If it was acceptable to tear a page out, I would carry this one with me everywhere I go."
