About Me

I grew up on THE FARM in Summertown, Tennessee. I was inspired very early on by many great musicians, and I have always known that I wanted to play music. Some of my very first memories are watching my dad play drums on stage. Guitar is my passion, but I also play the drums, bass and tenor saxophone. Experiencing live music on THE FARM opened my eyes to how strong music can be, playing guitar is my driving force!! I recently had the rare opportunity to travel to Arkansas and record with John LeCompt and Rocky Gray (former members of Evanescence) and Phil Taylor from F.L.O.W., and Phil Taylor Productions. They are now in a band called "MACHINA". We recorded and produced some of my originals and we also collaborated on "Reign" and "Smokey belly" I have done alot musically in the last few years but this tops them all! These guys are true pro's. The four songs we did are Triton,Reign,Smokey belly, and Dogwind. I started an original project when I got back from Arkansas in Jan. '08. The name of the band also happens to be my first name "ISSA", NOT my idea! We are currently working on our album and playing gigs, we love it!!!!!
