trial.
perseverance.
expression.
not necessarily in that order.
MY STORY:
nurtured as a child by the sound of my grandfather's flamenco guitar and the sight/smell of his oil paintings. i experienced the expression of the existential. seeds were planted, the fruit of which came later.
exercised the salvation of skateboarding, my outlet in troubled youth. toured, traveled, competed, ministered.
latent musicality was awakened in college. as fire spreads through dry grass, i became ever consumed with burning for musical artistry. the melding of conceptual wordsmithing, instrumentation and outreach...i wholly beheld the amalgam of my passionate pursuits. yet another outlet, seemingly essential, forging headlong into untold seasons.
herein are songs offering snapshots and chronicled moments of me. if a still frame communicates a thousand words, how many volumes speaketh a song?
LOCALE:
hella born and raised in norcal (sacto). i now refer to san diego as home and the only quasi-redeemable region of socal.
INTERESTS:
long walks off short piers. luge lessons, summers in rangoon and springtime meat helmets. primo slides. recording. and songwriting (obviously).
OCCUPATION:
songwriter, mercenary ad copywriter/graphic designer, adjunct professor.
