Artist Bio

I am 23 years old, born and raised in Albany Georgia. Ive had a love for music since a young age; my family has a deep love for music. My grandfather gave me a small guitar when I was 7 years old, I tried to learn it but it would be years later till I would find my talent with this instrument. At 9 years old I played the drums in church and thats where my love of music began.
In 2007, my mom gave me a guitar as a gift. I took that guitar, went to my grandfather and he gave me a lesson or two, showed me basic chords to get me started. I spent many nights listening to music, teaching myself to play. I found inspiration in all genres!. There really arent too many genres that I cant put my own spin on. I think any artist has to be able to find appreciation for all music to truly love this industry.
In 2008 I made a trip to Nashville TN. it was just a weekend but it was all I needed to know, this was the life I wanted! I walked music row, went in a small bar, took a seat, and asked the band to play a song. They didnt know it, so a man that was standing near me asked if I wanted to get up and play, I answered with a resounding yes! I got up on stage, played, sang, the band played with me and the crowd cheered me on! WOW! Thats all it took, I headed south back to Georgia with a stronger desire than ever to follow my dream, to make my love of music, my life.
As of 2009 its been 2 years since I strummed my first chord, Ive played in many pubs, bars, clubs, and private events; Ive sat in with great local bands that already have a following and have slowly found my niche. I began writing my own songs about a year ago and have now started recording. I know this journey will be a ride but Im ready and Im certain that this same journey will lead me to a life filled with music.
2010 is going to be an amazing year! Thanks to everyone that has shown support, believed in me and given me the motivation to pursue what I believe is rightfully mine….music!!
