Hi and welcome to my Myspace profile page.
I was born and raised in Connecticut, but settled in sunny San Diego in 1998. I began writing music in the mid 90's just to past the time while I was traveling throughout the US as a Computer Programmer/Analyst - Consultant. Always a quick learner, I also taught myself how to play the guitar while on the road.
When I was settled on the West Coast, I starte
d performing at local coffee houses and open mics a few times a month in August, 2005. Since then, I have expanded my performing schedule to the point of playing 2, 3, even 4 times per week all over San Diego county.
I play at many of San Diego's premier Wineries, Resorts, and Restaurants. I can also be seen performing at San Diego's yearly County Fair, random Street Fairs, and a few local Bar & Grills. I'm also hired to play many Private and Corporate Events throughout the year. However, I have been seeing quite an increase in being hired to perform at Wedding Ceremonies/Cocktail Hours/Dinners. I've even been hired to DJ a few Wedding Receptions.
In August of 2102, I was voted runner-up in the Channel 10 San Diego's A-List in the Wedding Category for Best Music. The results will be announced at the end of August, 2012.
My sound has been described as that of Jack Johnson's laid back soothing style, but if you ask me "I really have no idea. I've been influenced by so many different artists. I can't put my finger on it. You tell me!"
Let's just say a little surf / meets folk / meets rock / meets pop.
My first cd 'Keep On' was self-released at the end of 2006. After a few years of performing and promoting my first project throughout San Diego, I also wrote and recorded 12 new songs. My second cd 'Enjoy the Journey' was self-released in 2009.
As I continue to perform locally and throughout California, I also continue to write (when I can). I plan on recording and releasing a few singles throughout 2012 via YouTube and/or digital media.
Stay tuned!
