My name is Declan Kennedy and I am from Chicago. I am up on the latest alternative music, and I perform as a singer/songwriter myself. Founded on 10 years of piano lessons and 6 years of guitar, my career as a songwriter includes a proficient knowledge of music theory. I am an avid concert-goer (most recently I attended Warped Tour) and I run a personal blog where I write about my music-filled life. This blog can be found here: poorlightingandsongwriting.blogspot.com I am also a dexterous self-taught Photoshop user. I have been designing and photo-manipulating for 5 years now. I am capable of using a graphics tablet when necessary and I am very familiar with various design/manipulative techniques. I have shown success with teaching my methods to others, and I greatly enjoy sharing my knowledge.
