ABOUT ME:

I am extremely happy to express myself through music. Music is a part of my life, as I'm usually listening to something. It calms my nerves and soothes my soul. There are many, many wonderful and talented singer/songwriters out there and I know how their music touches me. I can only hope to touch other people the same way with my music. I have written many songs, and most of them need fine-tuning to add depth and dimension with strong emotions. I also create song ideas and I work on them at a later date. To me, it is important to record my ideas, otherwise they will be lost, as have many song ideas in the past. Lyrics are important to me and as I write more songs, I am getting better at using them to convey my feelings. I hope you like my stuff! Check back from time to time, as I may rotate songs through.


SONG SELECTION: I chose to add a couple of cover songs here because I really like them and I think it shows a different side of me, yet adds definition to the songs I already enjoy. They are just coming at ya in a different flava! Check 'em out. Check out my MySpace site for additional songs.
