Biography fails Wikipedia musician guidelines. There is a lack of reliable sources available to properly substantiate the article. For the sources given: the LA Music Awards apparently have a story unto themselves, "The LA Music Scene" is apparently a press release (if not, hardly reliable), and one review (that we cannot confirm) by Music Connection does not warrant an article. Furthermore, weasel words strewn throughout the lead make the page come off as an advertisement. Blurpeace 22:34, 23 March 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Comments Linked off his own page are what look like legitimate scans from music magazines Music Connection 2003 and All Access Magazine 2003 (though I have no idea if these are reliable sources themselves nor if scans of magazine articles are appropriate for Wikipedia). Additionally there are numerous indications that one of his songs, "The Way it Used to Be" was in the American Pie 2 movie (though not on the official soundtrack release) however, other than the two links above I haven't been able to find any good sources for this (only a lot of forum posts and the like).  Also the lead paragraph from the article appears to be ripped from his website and needs to be rewritten.  SQGibbon (talk) 23:26, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:30, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
