Carl has been writing music for years, taking the world that revolves around him and putting it to words. A lot of his music is kind of the standard protocol of songwriting such as love gained, love lost, depression and life. The Beatles and Oasis are the main influences in Carl's music " as Noel Gallagher said " (in reference to him borrowing from the Beatles) " if you are going to pinch, you might as well pinch from the best" "I do believe that" Carl says " it's not like I don't have an original Idea in my head, I just like that sound." "I do try to write from the hip, meaning that I try not to think the songs out too much, they are what they are". Taking on the daunting task of writing, recording and producing each song has been the biggest challenge Carl faces " every day is a learning journey" not having an education in music or even recording, Carl hits this task head on. " It doesn't scare me, the not knowing, it invites me in, I always say -Life is based on logic- and I can think anything out, my other creed is- I will cross that bridge when I get to it-, so I don't worry about what I don't know, I will eventually get it!".
