His songs are reminiscent of a number of folk crooners before him, of which he cites Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake and Jose Gonzalez as influences. Watch two of his videos — one a live performance of "Self Portrait" and the other a black-and-white clip for "Thin Bridge" — from earlier this year below. For more head to his website.
