Welcome!

I make music in my free time.

That's about it.

Stories behind the songs:

Take My Will (Live Demo)

Wow, first recording in ages...I wrote this song during Wintervision 2008, during one of my quiet times. Thought I'd record a rough version of it, hopefully I'll be able to make a cleaner one someday later in life!

Unwinding Cable Car

Part 3 of my Anberlin covers: “Unwinding Cable Car” by Anberlin. Listen to the original song here:

The List

Okay, this is not a serious song whatsoever. Don't take this one seriously AT ALL, because Josh is an awesome guy who's got an awesome heart for God...although truth be told, he has a history behind him that precedes him hahah. It was made for my friend Josh, and written with the help of my friend Chris (who is playing guitar in the track). Basically we were at DCLA 2006, making a list of all of Josh's former crushes and/or infatuations over the past several years. The real list had 59-ish names, but we decided to spare you guys and only included 35 in the song. And, uh, this is what came of that concept. Enjoy.

All I Could Ever Ask For [demo]

This song goes back to the beginning of my senior year in high school. It's the first worship song I've ever recorded. I wrote it at our annual church retreat, in the coolness of night sitting on top of a hill reading the Bible. It was completely dark, and completely silent. I pulled out a flashlight and began reading Psalm 121...and just began to worship God in a way I had never done before. I'm normally horrible with lyrics, but I was given words this time, and I began to sing the chorus of this song in the dead of night. It was an amazing experience for me, at a time when I was feeling spiritually worn out. I hope it affects you the way it affected me.
