About Me

NO ALIBI ( THE MUSIC VIDEO)I'm just another college student who uses the guitar and music as a vice and a way to tell stories about love or lack there of. Currently a Senior at UMBC transferred from Goucher College, my life has been filled with friendships, memories, stories, and situations that I cant describe by telling you without having some sort of instrumental accompaniment behind them. That’s where my guitar comes in, she's been one of my closest friends since 9th grade. She has a unique ability to harmonize the right chords with my words leaving you the listener with a page of my emotions. My influences span from artists like Jason Mraz, Paul Simon, Joe Purdy, Amos Lee, Boyz II Men, Ray Lamontagne, John Mayer, and the list goes on. However the most Influential of them all would be my older brother Nelson "nellysecho". He taught me essentially how to play the guitar and how to make it my own, and for that I am forever grateful. Everyone has a story to tell, and with the help of alliteration and euphemisms, I'll twist my words until they sing for you. Hope you enjoy the tunes. Feel free to drop me a message on your way out. .
