Remarks : Looking for music to chill to on a sunday afternoon? Be sure to check out Brian Mackey. His powerful vocals and song writing skill will amaze you. If I were working in the radio station, I would definetly have his song up my channel.

What made you pick up music?
They say music soothes the savage beast, hearing a song on the radio and singing along to it would quiet the turmoil and make everything alright.

Tell us something about yourself and your music that we don't know about.
I don't really listen to rock music, or anything popluar. I prefer classical music, and when my car radio is working, usually a classical station comes in.

What is the best thing you have accomplished as a musician?
I think the best thing I've accomplished is working with Ron Perlman, Bob Dylan's guitar player. Ron is an amazing musician, and to get to record with him was really an eye-opener. Watching him play the guitar makes you say, 'Wow that's how you play it'.

Which celebrity star would you date?
That's a really good question. I probably wouldn't date a celebrity. I would probably end up with a waitress at Ihop. Probably Anna Panquin from True Blood. She seems nice. At least to vampires anyway.

What do you see yourself doing 5 years down the road?
Five years down the road, well I hope we are still a planet by then...And if the earth is still spinning, I hope I'm living somewhere in a warm climate near the beach.

Lastly, any shoutouts?
I would like to give a shoutout to bandsearch.blogspot.com for even being interested in me :) and to all the people out there that support me! Thanks guys!
