I actually started with the blues, folk, alt. country and americana and that's what led me to the darker stuff. I always liked dark music and subject matter which is why I'm such a fan.

My reaction, though, is to write the kind of music I want to hear. Of course, soon I'll be subject to the same ridicule from people such as myself.
