Bio

Growing up in a log cabin on the banks of the Tennessee River, I experienced a series of family tragedies and challenges, throwing me into writing music. With a broken heart, a broken home and on my own at 17, I had a whole lot to say. I earned a B.S. degree in Broadcasting in 3 years and shortly after graduation, I moved myself to Memphis. I lived there for a year, writing and performing in the city’s numerous blues clubs. Feeling the need to spread my wings, I moved on to Nashville for three hard-but-enlightening years, which took me from a hard working amateur to a hungry professional.

Though Nashville is one of the music capitals of the world, I once again found my ambitions yearning for broader and more varied opportunities. So I held another garage sale and headed west to the City of the Angels. In the two years I've been in LA, I have played 100+ shows, recorded "Fingerprints" in the fall of 2006 and it was released on an East Coast tour in December '06. Now, in the midst of writing with other amazing musicians for my upcoming record, I’m still reaching for my higher self, to be a proverbial light shining through a window of peace and love to all... especially the many other talented people out there on similar journeys.
