Movies and television shows are where you may have first heard AM's music. With an unprecedented 46 song placements to date including HBO's “Big Love”, ABC's “Men In Trees”, and MTV's “The Hills” AM had every song placed from his debut album "Troubled Times". Released on Defend Music in 2006 "Troubled Times" was voted one of iTunes Top 20 "Best Indie Albums" and was a personal favorite of Los Angeles tastemaker and KCRW DJ Nic Harcourt. In 2007 the Tulsa born, New Orleans raised and current Silverlake resident released his sophomore album "Soul Variations" to more critical acclaim. Fusing melodic, airy pop and folk-rock "Soul Variations" drew on everything from Katrina's aftermath to the trials and tribulations of all relationships, whether personal or political. From the spacious, analog nature of the production to the songs themselves "Soul Variations" has been said to feel right at home alongside John Lennon's "Double Fantasy" and Wilco's "Sky Blue Sky". Voted “Best Singer/Songwriter of the Year" at the LA Weekly Music Awards AM recently finished up a 45 city US tour in support of "Soul Variations" and will continue to promote the release in 2008 both in the US and Europe. AM also recently scored his first film "Man Maid" along with Tom Hiel (Swimming with Sharks, The Practice) and has just written and produced a new duets project entitled "Side by Side - Duets EP Vol. 1" which was mixed by Charles Newman (Magnetic Fields).
