DURING THIS PERIOD HE BORROWED HIS BROTHERâ€™S GUITAR AND LEARNED TO PLAY THE SONGS OF ALICE IN CHAINSâ€™ JAR OF FLIES ALBUM. HOWEVER HE REALLY STARTED WRITTING SONGS IN 1999. YEARS AFTER YEARS, HAUNTED BY THE GHOSTS OF NICK DRAKE, JOHNNY CASH, TOWNES VAN ZANDT, ELLIOTT SMITH AND THE LIVING LEGENDS NEIL YOUNG, TOM WAITS, BJORK AND SONIC YOUTH, HE IMPROVED HIS WRITTING TO CREATE NOW HIS VERY OWN MATERIAL AND OFFER A VERY SPECIFIC WAY OF PLAYING LIVE.
