About Me

Buy JJ Usher Merch @ www. tdographics. com Man, this is almost impossible because "who someone is" comes from years of experiences that they could never fit on this little section. So Ill just tell you what I do. I'm a musician. I have my own band that backs me and we play all over. We have a good following in some places and no one has ever heard of us in others. I do my best every single day to change that but it is a slow process with all the both amazing and mediocre music available out there these days. I live downtown in Austin, Tx and absolutley love it. I only live a mile from 4th or 6th street which gets me in trouble sometimes. Just added some of my songs on SNOCAP right above thise so now you can listen to alot more material. Check it out:)..
