What are your influences as an artist? 

Wow... where to start All the great old blues from the 20s 30s 40s and 50s . Rock bands from the 60s and 70s Punk from the 80s . 

How did you start playing music? / How long have you been playing music for? 
My dad gave me my first guitar for Christmas when I was about 4. I played(badly) for any one that was in the house. I continued to play in my teens and the guitar saved me from starvation or prostitution as I lived on the street as a teen.
 I have always written songs and I am now finally getting to record them for everyone to hear.

What is the best advice you have been given as an artist? 
Be authentic
