my mother taught me piano at the age of 7 and since then i have been caught by the music bug and have become an avid musician/songwriter. i'm now 32 years old and i feel i have finally matured into the kind of musician i have always wished to become. while knowing, i have so much more to learn!

i started my first band "josette's eye" when i was 19 years old with good friend bejay hummel (thompson liner notes). shortly thereafter we started recording our debut album in the summer of 1998 and released "alibi clock" the following march 1999. we toured, lived, wrote and in the fall of 2000 we started recording our second album "enamorata" with the help of producer/engineer dave filburn who also manned the drums. but by that time the band had started to lose steam and all involved where beginning to look for new horizons. the group disbanded in 2002.

In the fall of 2003 i started collaborating with friend/vocalist/lyricist todd bennington while simultaneously collaborating with vocalist/guitarist darren brewster whom i started the short lived 4 piece band "stroma". I use some of todd's lyrics on a couple of my songs. i love his words and the images they carry. he and i are still friends.

in 2004 bassist rock moore and i started "the empty hollow". i had a catalog of songs already just sitting around my head so that helped a great deal. we brought on singer heith auman and drummer martinho riberio to round out the sound. we played out extensively and in the summer of 2007 we released our debut album "growing slumber". though there were many interpersonal issues and creative differences and shortly thereafter the group disbanded. which brings us to my current musical endeavor.

using influences from tool to seal along with life on this planet i bring an interesting brand of acoustic music to your ears. always being in bands and never branching out to show the world what i have to offer as a solo artist i now have that freedom. i am currently in the studio working on my debut album tentatively titled: "the feat of elijahwuan"". i'll be releasing it in the fall with the help of the master of sound ryan hughes and many friends sitting in on various songs. the music you are hearing is a collection of home recordings from 2005 to current.

my hope, and partly my reason for making music is for some part of me to live on and echo through the years. i make music to enjoy, to challenge, and to maybe, just maybe inspire someone else to do the same. i hope you enjoy what you hear? thank u & be well.
