Huhta
Franklin
Very creative, intuitive musician that enjoys creating great music. As a singer/songwriter myself, I believe that musical hooks in songs add to the overall HOOK of the song. Too many times I hear notes but I don't hear the passion behind the notes or they don't fit the mood of the song. I enjoy taking the time needed to find the magic.
