I'm quitting music so I can be Jack Bauer.

About Me

I'm a songwriter in Nashville, TN and I write for Warner Chappell, LA. I spent the first 21 years of my life in Loveland, Colorado right at the base of the Rocky Mountains until the music biz took me to the muggy, snowless south. I have been married for six years to a beautiful woman named Kara and I have a daughter named Emerson. My two girls are the joy of my life. I'm 30 now and I've been working in the music industry for almost 9 years. It's a crazy job but I enjoy it a lot.....most of the time. My main gig is writing but I also occasionally play guitar for some of the artists I work with. That gets me out on the road just enough to still enjoy it without getting too sick of it. I'm a pretty low-key guy and I enjoy the same things most people enjoy....time with my wife and daughter, traveling, friends and family, a good movie, great music, the Denver Broncos and any other team that's whipping the Tennesse Titans except for the Raiders who I will always hate and root against, skiing (when I get the chance), and the infamous fire pit in our back yard....You guys know who you are...Some of the artists I've worked with or have recorded my songs: The Backstreet Boys, Trace Adkins, The Afters, Phil Stacey, Avalon, Joy Williams, Rebecca St. James, Mark Schultz, Mandisa, Geoff Moore, Natalie Grant, AJ McClean (Backstreet Boys), Fireflight, Dizmas, Michael W. Smith, Shawn McDonald, Kendall Payne, Anthony Evans, Brandon Heath, Bebo Norman, Jennifer Paige, Everyday Sunday, This Beautiful Republic, Clay Aiken, John-Mark, The Pearls, The Lucky Bucks, Cindy Morgan, Ana Laura, The Longing, PureNRG, Wayne Kirkpatrick, Shelly Fairchild, Josh Wilson, Starfield, Above the Golden State, Abandon, Philmont.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/2/2007
Band Website: warnerchappell.com
Band Members: Just me and my wicked smart rhymes
Influences: I like whatever music the cool and "in the know" people like because I am a sheep and I am too afraid to have my own opinion. Therefore, I'm only allowed to like Indie artists that no one's ever heard of. I also hate whatever the cool and "in the know" people hate because if I didn't, they would ostracize me and say I was not "legit." Artists that I'm supposed to hate are the following: Any artist that is commercial, extremely popular, and selling lots and lots and lots and lots of records. OK....truthfully....here are some of the artists that have genuinely influenced me: Counting Crows, Jonatha Brooke, Pete Yorn, Billy Joel, U2.....great songs from great songwriters.
Sounds Like: It hopefully does not sound like poop.
Record Label: Warner Chappell
Type of Label: Major
