i started out wanting to be a pop/rock musician (i was 12), this is the time i began singing and started to write lyrics (most of them were terrible and weird)
then i wanted an indie rock musician like Conor Oberst after discovering the song "Hot Knives" (i was about 13) i started to learn guitar
then i became a weird extremely experimental musician when i first discovered GarageBand examples:
then i decided to become a folk muscian (i was either late 13 early 14) well to be truthful the folk influence existed for a long-time but it was never as obvious till now
somewhere along the way i wanted to make electronica music i just discovered dntel, figurine, the postal service, etc... i created my experimental electronica project Earthly Kingdoms
I finally realized what my style was just about 8 monthes ago i am Folktronica, i mixed my electronica influences with my folk influences, added a drop of pop/rock influence, and a sprinkle of my own weirdness and created Stone Birds (that moniker existed a few years before that but this is when i chose my official styles.
today i am a folktronica musician, who tries to genre cross every song (i even have a folk hip-hop song called "Flurry" you can hear it on my myspace) i've tried to incorporate every genre i'm even planning on putting a short rap in one of my songs.
