Music
I don't exactly have any studio-quality audio clips at the moment, but here are a few songs you can take a listen to that will give you an idea of how I sing. Please ignore the quality (or lack thereof, as it were) of the recordings. Unless otherwise noted, they were actually recorded on my digital video camera (it's not half as bad as you'd think). I'm the lead vocal on all of the songs below. My original songs are at the end of the list. Oh yeah, I am also offering my Professional DJ & MC services again – check it out.

It Had To Be You (3.7MB)	This is a recording of me over a background track of Harry Connick's version of this song that I recorded at a friend's house in one take (not to brag, but to point out that the flaws are duly noted...) in the summer of 2k2.	MP3
