I've grown up singing in churches, and because of that, I feel that I have a certain, more personable element to the music I write and sing. In recent years, I have performed many times in front a small crowd in my hometown of Brookland called "The Roundup". It's there that I've learned what stage presence is all about, and as I've performed more and more, I've seen many faces react positively to the music I play. Evoking emotion out of a person through music is a testament to how strong a song can be. And I've seen my songs bring smiles to people's faces, and even tears to a person's eyes. It's this emotion that I crave to bring out in people, and I feel that through songwriting, I can do just that.
