Bio
I have endured much life hardship so far including recently loosing my father to drug abuse. To help ease my pain I picked up a guitar, taught my self to play and have written over 100 songs. My music is a mix of country and pop with lyrics that come straight from my heart.
I graduated from High School a year early working hard on getting my classes completed so I could concentrate on my music. I have had a good bit of acceptance early on. My first public stage appearance, at age 16, I won my High School talent show, I placed in the top 3 in the final of the Central Florida Colgate Country Showdown at K92 FM in Orlando, and I have opened for the Marshall Tucker Band.
