You're Beautiful Just The Way You Are..

About Me

I have been writing music for as long as I can remember with many styles and influences, from hard rock, metal to many other sources of interests I have had. Basically my story is alike many in my generation, coming from a broken family, but in that finding a very real GOD who took all I had and turned into something good. The music I used to write, very clearly and honestly told of my perspective of life, from the circumstances that were at the time. Now I still tell my story but now through the eyes of one who has seen the hope a saviour gives.. a love that is poured out to anyone who calls, those broken and in need of something greater.. This year I have been working alongside Nick Vujicic with his music projects and recently wrote tracks for his motivational ministry dvd 'NO ARMS ,NO LEGS, NO WORRIES' one of the many projects i hope to help produce, but really my heart is to serve and my songs all have one similarity, they are straight from the heart… So I hope by listening to my tracks and reading my blogs you sense the very presence that has sustained me…LOVEMYFLASH CODE

Band Members: At the moment i am solo, still stuck in this crazy world of writing music late at night, too many different projects to name, my guitar is never in the key of E, my piano is littered with bad songs(scrunched up in balls all over the top) and good songs in a pile to the left, its my system and it works. I am very excited about my personal album i will record within the next few years, its in a way a concept album, but also an autobiography of my life thus far.. and the cool thing is this..its not tied down to any one style, its like rock one song, pop rock another, soft acoustic another..its really me, its multi faceted and im really loving where its headed.. and its an ablum everyone will relate to. So ill kepp you posted as it comes along..
