About Me

Growing up in Tucson, AZ, a small city compared to L.A, etc...It all started when I was 15 years old....I remember going through my parent's closet as a young child toying around with their old "guitarra" but I actually took the time to look at it one day.I asked my dad to teach me what he knew...just a couple of chords.An Am, Dm, and E Major. I always played those three in that order and I always got the feel for Mexican Western Movie!I soon began to teach myself chords, strumming rhythm, and after a year of playing...I think I had so many lyrics written my head would spin!I had listened to a lot of Third Day, Riley Armstrong, David Crowder...things like that of the sort.I felt at some point though, around the mid-point of my second year of playing that:I wanted to expand my guitar playing! I came across Trace Bundy and BOY! His guitar playing as well as his big heart for God inspired me to try to learn guitar like the way he had... by trying new things on the guitar, things people wouldn't normally try!From tapping, percussion, ELBOW percussion, upside down playing, multiple capos... I am still surprised to this day why God has guided me to this style of music.And from my experience...I know that He is using me to motivate other musicians, friends and family to stay true to Him... and not fall off into the world's view of music.I am thankful since that time picking up that old guitar. I do hope my music is a blessing to you as it has been for me and many others...See ya later readers ;)
