About Me

Everyone has a dream....This is mine and I am happy to be on my way to realizing it. When Adam and I were in our freshman year of high school, we had a made up record label called "Lot-a-Loot records". We drew up our own logo, had it tattooed (with sharpie) on our arms and ran around telling everyone about our label and why it was better than all the real labels that were around at the time. I played in a few talent shows and other performances and sang whenever anyone would listen but neither of us knew anything about running a label or a business for that matter. Despite all that, soon we had all of our friends and even some of their friends wearing the Lot-a-Loot tattoo and wanting to be a part of the label along with us! It seems silly now, but who knew that years later, we would actually start our own label?I have been a musician in one form or another for as long as I can remember. From teaching myself to play a few songs on the guitar to joining a band and playing shows from Springfield Missouri to New York City and back to recording my own music etc...All while dreaming of one day being signed. It was always a goal of mine, yet it always felt as If I were on the outside looking in, or waiting on something to happen that might or might not take place. This label is my way of MAKING it happen. Not only for me, but anyone else who has felt the same way. FIRST ALBUM TO BE RELEASED SEPTEMBER 2009!!
