“I think of my songs as small journeys, both in their creation and also for the listener.  Song ideas can start anywhere: a memorable rhythm, a lyrical phrase, a strong bass line;  a concrete idea – northern lights, lost love;  and especially an emotional theme – wistful regret, tentative optimism.   The inspirations are endless and I always connect each song with a specific feeling.  When successful, the final presentation can help transport the audience to a new place.”   trapper
