<h2>Roles</h2>
As an artist, I try to share my emotional responses to music with an audience.<BR>
<BR>
As a songwriter, my primary interest is in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earworm">earworm</a> tunes with the potential for mass appeal.<br>
<!--supported by the simplest beats that serve the song.<BR>-->
<BR>
As a live drummer, my goal is to play like some combination of a throbbing industrial engine and a crazed <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_(Muppet)">animal</a>.<BR>
<BR>
As a record producer, my primary strengths are nuturing a project's mass-appeal elements, critically evaluating all the elements of a project, and speaking candidly.<br>
<BR>
As an artist manager, I offer talent in the Midwest dispassionate counsel and development with a self-sufficient DIY/indie philosophy.
<br>
<h2>Requirements</h2>
I have a variety of musical interests, skills and projects. For me to be involved, a project must:<br>
1. Resonate with me emotionally,<br>
2. Allow me to do something I'm good at, and<br> 
3. Have the potential for some measure of mass appeal if executed properly.
<br>
<h2>Success models</h2>
My models of success are generally multi-talented musicians with unconventional career paths who are somehow involved in mass-appeal pop rock and include men like<br>
