My style is summed up as a smooth blend of pop and jazz.

I love to write songs and play them for people. My songs are usually stories from my own life about girls I've known or loved, and how I usually tend to mess everything up with them. When I'm not writing sensitive girly pop songs, I write fake songs about dating celebrities (which you will never hear no matter how much you ask), or songs for my cat. I think the stereotype of cats being feminine icons is disappointing and completely misjudged.

I mainly play the guitar and piano, but you might find me with a saxophone or bass in my hand every now and again. Other random facts about me: I enjoy cooking, although I wouldn't call myself a good cook. Sting has been one of the most influential musicians in my life. I have a soft spot for John Mayer. I lied about liking Fall Out Boy and Napoleon Dynamite at a party to score a date. And I pretty much know everything there is to know about the TV series 24.

As unprofessional as this has been, I know you're dying to figure out my serious side: please visit my website to dive deeper into my story.

Hey m8,

thanx for accepting my friend-request :D

If you want to try out something different (and maybe more difficult) here's my suggestion for you:

Jamiroquai - Seven Days in sunny June

There are some really nice acoustic versions of the song here on YouTube, if u don't know it.

I would love to hear ur version.

So....Why don't u test ur skills ? ;)

Oh....And by the way...I have watched all of ur videos...You've got an amazing talent, a beautiful, pleasant voice and the right feeling in it.

Keep up the good work ^^

Ur Fan,

Charron1977
