Schiavone

Following my childhood love of music, I received a music scholarship at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. I was soon approached to be the lead singer of an upstart band called Boy O Boy (BOB). We quickly gained a following, and toured the East Coast playing many clubs and colleges along the way. We changed our name to Fighting Gravity some years later, and found ourselves signed to several major labels. We toured much of the continental US and around the globe on several USO tours that took us to places such as Japan, Puerto Rico, Honduras, and Singapore. It was an amazing and exciting ride, and what I most appreciated was the many positive friends that those travels brought into my life. Many of whom are still a part of my life today.

As Fighting Gravity came to an end, I stepped away from the music industry for three years in order to find a different inspiration. However, I found myself drawn repeatedly back to the fire. The desire to get back on stage again was overwhelming. This desire led me to begin work on a life-long dream. With the help of co-writer and producer Chip Johnson, this dream will come to realization with the Fall 2010 release of my solo CD titled My Only Secret. This music is personal. It is a reflection of where I have arrived in life. It is about realizing the better side of life and those you choose to share it with. It is my hope that you will be able to draw the same inspiration from listening to the music as I have had in writing it.
