Re: Describing Your Music



Rather than describing the style of music that I perform, which may vary, 
I describe myself as a "vocal looping artist", and name some of the songs 
that I perform.  It seems to help get the basic idea across.  I also 
mention that the real impact comes from seeing me create the songs live.
