About Me

OK here goes. i started writing songs at five years old. the first one was titled 'falling leaves' the funny thing about that one was that the arpeggiated chords went up the keyboard, it was my own musical joke. now i am 27 and have a bunch more written. along the way i have performed many times and produced a couple cd's (i wouldn't call em albums just yet) enjoy and thanks for listening.
