vinceconawayI can hardly believe it's been 10 years.
2006 was a big year for me. I went to Europe for the first time, on vacation, in January. That summer I went back, performing with the Aerial Angels, during which time I did a few solo street sets and set up my future as a busker.
The year before I had released Distractions from the Muse, the earliest album to exhibit my mature style. My previous efforts were my attempts to find my voice but, while I've continued to improve, DftM was the first to really sound uniquely like me. There's a reason it's my earliest work available on iTunes: I will always be grateful that my first, tentative, efforts never hit the Internet.
I became a professional musician in 1998 and went full-time in 2002, but 2005-2007 is the stretch that made me the performer I am today and 2006 is when the pieces really fell into place.
I can hardly believe it's been 10 years.
