Music was very influential to me growing up. I was introduced to the piano, guitars and what recording music was about at an early age. I spent a fair amount of time around recording studios in Southern California with my parents as they made records singing, writing and producing.
As a teenager, I began writing songs on the guitar and piano, but I was too shy to get up and sing. So, I played guitar in couple local Los Angeles bands, made a few indie albums, had some great times, but always felt like something was missing.
Unfortunately, in a short amount of time I lost a few people who were very close to me.
I took a deep breath and thought about my own life. What have I contributed and what might I leave behind. I felt it was time to get over my stage fright and start singing my own songs.
I found a comfortable stage at The Hotel Cafe in Hollywood, where local singer songwriters were playing nightly. I drew inspiration and became friends with other local artists who were also getting their start there and shared the same passion in songwriting as I did.
In 2006, I recorded "The Love In Every Bar", with Producers Thom Flowers and Emile Millar. An acoustic Ep, "Home" in 2008 "Home", then followed Thom Flowers out to Shire Recorders in Austin, Texas to record & mix "Everything Must Go" in 2010.
Within this time, I've met and played music with some great people and performed all around the US and once in Mexico. I've been introduced to cities I probably never would, if not for playing music. My loyal following online and having music played on T.V shows, events, radio and commercials keeps me going and I am truly grateful for all of this.
Feel free to drop me an email/message and always remember - never be afraid to stop and take your own deep breath.
