Eric, hello!
I'm afraid that nearly all of what you've put into your article here on Wikipedia probably doesn't belong here. It's all good and useful promotional and personal information, but most of it belongs on your MySpace or other personal web page. Wikipedia is really not a promotional tool, so concert and album reviews, listings of upcoming and past concerts, and a personal history aren't really suited for an encyclopedia. I'm working on adding the discography, though. -- ArglebargleIV 04:04, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I should add one more thing. You probably shouldn't be writing articles about yourself. It's a strong guideline of Wikipedia that you shouldn't be involved in editing your own article if you have one. To quote the guideline (which can be found here) :

This guideline in a nutshell: Avoid writing or editing articles about yourself, since we all find objectivity especially difficult when we ourselves are concerned. Such articles frequently violate neutrality, verifiability, and notability guidelines. Contribute on the talk page instead. Feel free to correct mistaken or out-of-date facts about yourself.

Thanks! -- ArglebargleIV 04:19, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
