music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life

About Me

I was conceived sometime in the month of April in Shrevepor..ssier city, Louisiana. I was born on January 22. I'd like to say that my parents carefully planned the event, had an attachment to the city, picked the music, created the mood, readied themselves to bring a new life into this world, but in reality, a condom broke. My mother basically gave me to my grandparents when i was 2 years old and they raised me ever since. I've always given music my extra attention and relied on it to take me somewhere else ever since i was a child. None of my other friends were as interested as i was even at this young age. Eventually, i bought a cheap acoustic guitar just wanting to strum a few songs but it became an addiction and i wanted to go further and get deeper into it. this past year i was recruited by an old local veteran bass player to play guitar for 2 of his cover bands but quickly quit after realizing it was'nt my style. Here i am, 20 years old writing my own materials using a recording set-up in my house to capture my creations.
I write about personal life experiences and my surroundings. I love to listen to interesting stories from experienced people and write about it. I'm inspired by a many of artist of many different genres ranging from blues to pop.
