My Favorite Musical Artist

I though I would share my favorite musical artist with you for two reasons; so you can get to know me better and because you most like have never heard of him even though he is responsible for writing and producing a number of popular songs. His name is Butch Walker, he started out in a hair metal band called SouthGang; then the pop rock band the Marvelous 3 with whom he had a moderate hit called "Freak of the Week". After the Marvelous 3 broke up he started producing and writing for bands such as SR-71, Bowling for Soup, Pink, Fall Out Boy, Sevendust, the All American Rejects, American Hi-Fi, Lindsey Lohan, The Academy Is..., Avril Lavigne and Lit among others. He has released several solo albums, the most recent being "Sycamore Meadows"in the fall of 2008, and last summer released an album called "Maya" from his side project 1969.

Bio here.

His music covers a whole range, from hair metalish pop, to pop punk, to folk; basically he's all over the place. Here are a few videos.
