Growing up, my parents always had the turntable spinning for my brother and I. They would play anything from Baroque classical to 60's folk and rock. I knew even then, as a young naive child in Huntington, WV, listening as my dad made mix-tapes for my mom just how powerful music truly can be.
The older I got and as life's challenges grew and multiplied, music stayed with me as a true friend and constant companion. The doorway to music opened up to a realm of freedom and expression, a realm that I saw so divine and healing as I grew up with "A.D.D." while attending a Christian school.
Then as I was transitioning to not only public education but also the "awkward teen years" I quickly learned just how close music and I would become and still, so, remain. There for my first broken heart. Endless summer days. with neighborhood friends. The day my grandfather died. Starting high school. Hating high school. My first kiss. My second broken heart. Sneaking out of the house to Cincinnati with my best friend.
Then one day at 17, I heard "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys sweetly crashing through the radio speakers. That day began the life-long marriage between pop music and I. While performing as a member of various local bands I learned first-hand the art of songwriting and producing and now many years later I have achieved "Keep It Low" - an album full of wit and wisdom learned the past 26 years.
Truly, this is the story of a boy becoming a man as told through classic song-craft straight from the heart and soul of the one there to witness it all. This is real. This is real music. This is really me! I believe in original composition. I love sharing my joy and passion with all of you, be it on record, performing live as an intimate solo artist or backed with a rockin' band!
Thus far, performing music has given me awesome opertunities to travel to Myrtle Beach, SC and New Orleans, LA to film music videos as well as performing numerous gigs in Cincinnati, Lexington and other brilliant places meeting so many brilliant people. And the journey's far from over, as my debut solo album is relasing nationwide Spring 2010!! .
Sure, Huntington, West Viringia isn't known for it's pop music, so it's not strange when some people from my town turn away after hearing my bright, uplifting, harmony driven tunes and just the same it's no wonder no matter where I may travel, I always meet so many groovy guys and girls keeping my head up, as they laugh, smile and sing along with my indie pop music!! Sure, i'm not for everyone. And I'm fine with that. But one thing is certain, that if you stand by me, I'll stand by you. I love nothing more than to see you smile and I feel truly honoured and blessed to have you on my side. Together, let's make pop music rule the world!!
A lotta work behind me and even more lies a head - but I love it and would enjoy doing nothing else! What's next? God only knows
