I recently received a critique from a representative of a well known A&R (Artists & Repertoire) department and among the things that were said about me was that I was a classic Singer-Songwriter. I wondered what that meant but as I continued reading, I saw we he meant. I don't really sound like a Justin Timberlake or an Usher; my sound, I admit, is rather old school but without being dated. To me the "old school" mentality means caring about writing good quality lyrics and music; it means having the best possible songs on a CD and not forgettable little tunes ; it means excellence all around. I believe in all of those virtues and do my best to have them. The rest is up to you, the public, as to whether or not I have succeeded. So if all of those things make me a Classic Singer-Songwriter, then I am proud to be called that. BKT
