: About Me

I am a Musician/Guitarist, a Poet/Lyricist, and have an armchair philosophers degree ;].

Music, Poetry & Philosophy are the 3 creative forces in my life that continually inspire and influence this process of being that I am.

My musician/artist name is 'Dimension & Perception'.

The above address is for my artist profile on Myspace. I am very proud of my music and my composition creativity. I feel I have a genuinely original sound that is a clever amalgamation of the artists and music that has influenced me. Basically that means you can hear the influences, but it doesn't feel like a rip off or cheap immitation. Though seriously, please just check out my music to hear for yourself.

As a person, I am not particularly abnormal, nor try to be. Yet, it seems that the more I feel like I am me, the less I seem to be alike anyone I could easily describe. I am therefore quite enigmatic and interesting.

I may appear to have a somewhat erratic personality, but that is only because I can admit that I am dictated by my mood and energy. I can be calm, quiet, reserved & contemplative... or I can be energetic, loud, uninhibited and witty.

Basically, I love who I am, because I am never who I expect to be, and I am constantly a changing person. I may appear to have many faces, but I am an honest person, and I would rather hold my tongue than gossip of people. People are naturally 2 faced (so I believe), so, in response to this, I try to refrain from passing comments on people that I would probably avoid if they were present. It is a task of mindfulness, and I find that I am quite aware of myself - I know myself more considerably than I believe most people are aware of themselves. Its all about honesty - with yourself, and with others.

Honesty is also a key factor in my creative drive, and the best way I have found to relate with others...
