About Me

MY MUSIC AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE
I'm on
Growing up in a broken home may seem like a tragic tale to some, but being in such a hositle environment bared the opportunity to thrive musically. As a lot of troubled youths divulge into heavy metal and emotive music, I grasped onto those reigns and took them as far as I could without tiring. After experimenting with different music in high school, I began to discover more music through this wonderful world of information we live in. As soon as my guitar playing caught up with my vocals I began writing music that not only caught the attention of even the most fickle listener, but my lyrics personally gave off a vibe that made me feel more accomplished.
Most of my early music derived from the atypical sour romances and resentment towards people who hurt me. Once those bonds were broken I developed into a better person, the person I am today. So now I write music that is not only fulfilling to me, but relevant to others as well.
My only hope is that after I've written my last song that my fingers can produce that my grandchildren will find a steamer trunk full of my music and belongings and say something along the lines of "No way is that Grandpa!" and hopefully my music will stand that test of time.
Now in late 2008, I've finally joined up with three very talented and very funny friends who are willing to turn my music from acoustic to full band. Our collective personalities and ideas make my music soar to a whole new realm. The Vain Transparent
This is my music. This is me. Enjoy.
