Literary Influences
I’ve long been drawn to the art of textually learning, and I’m also often captivated by a good story. furthermore, I believe that stories can teach us much about the perspectives of others and thus give greater insight into what it means to be human.
Below is a list of some books that have helped to shape the ever-evolving viewpoints of my life’s PILGRIMAGE. This, in turn, has organically influenced a considerable amount of the lyrical content represented in the songs I develop. More titles will be added here as i continue my pursuit of reading.
