I've been playing guitar for 5 or 6 years, and writing lyrics for as long as I can remember. I've been singing in front of people for maybe two years or so, so I still have some kinks to work out with that. I'm a Christian, that's part of where the name Second Chances came from. If you want more details feel free to ask. And just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean this is a Christian band. That carries a very narrow-minded and negative connotation to it and I'm not into labels. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions and it's not my job to force what I believe down anyone's throat. To each his own. And just because I play acoustic guitar doesn't make me an "emo kid". Emo is a genre of music noting an emotional presence. No I don't slit my wrists or sit in a dark room and cry myself to sleep. If you write a song, it should have emotion behind it, it's the only way we can connect with each other and convey our thoughts and ideas.
I'm open to criticism. However, if you're a douchebag, don't talk to me. Do unto others. That's not a Christian ideology, that's common courtesy. I love compliments, they're wonderful. And I'm very thankful that places like myspace exist for musicians to share their music with others on such a large scale. And I'm even more thankful for all of you that are reading this, the idea that my music and my thoughts actually mean something to someone else is just beyond amazing. And I try to let that be known, if you comment me I try my best to comment back. If I don't it's not because I don't like you, it's because I have other things going on and just don't have time to. Keep trying, eventually I will, I promise. And it's pretty common for musicians to get a big head and not talk to any of their fans, but that's not me. Just because you listen to my stuff doesn't make me better than you. We're all the same, just people sharing their thoughts and ideas. I mean, sure I love attention, but I don't deserve it any more than the next guy. I'm not any different from any of you reading this right now. I'm just a guy that loves playing music. Take it for what it's worth.
P.S.- Contrary to what you may have read in my comments (thank you Tyler and Chase), I'm completely heterosexual.
