About Me

Myspace Backgrounds
Create a Free SlideshowI'm a singer/songwriter and member of ASCAP. I'm originally from Fort Lauderdale, Florida and I now live in Port Huron, Michigan. I majored in commercial music and minored in piano and voice at Anderson College in South Carolina and I've been writing and performing since junior high.I wrote and entered the song "I Won't Forget" in the American Idol Songwriters contest for season 6. And although I didn't make the top 20, I had no regrets. It was a wonderful experience for me and I met some of the nicest people from around the world during that time. It inspired me to continue writing and performing. In October of '07 I had the honor of performing in a Toys For Tots benefit concert that really helped me get my feet wet again and I met some really talented and wonderful musicians/songwriters.I was also included in a charity compilation cd entitled "HITS THEY MISSED" with other very talented songwriters who, like myself, were entered in the contest with American Idol. Produced by LUANNE HUNT and SEAN GASAWAY with JOHN BASS of ARCTIC SOUND STUDIOS, the album was released in September of '07 and received international attention inlcuding "Album Of The Week" from the International Songwriters Association. If you are an American Idol fan, your going to love these songs. To order your copy and learn more about the album and the writers, go to www.melodiesthatmatter.com .
Above is a slideshow of my recording trip to Nashville last May. What an incredible week that was. In addition to recording at two recording studios (Quad Studios Nashville and Artctic Sound Studios) with the most talented group I've ever met, I even had the opportunity to be interviewed by Vic Morgan of BBC Radio fame. The interview was broadcasted live back to England!
Take a minute and watch the slideshow and you'll see why I had such a great time. You may even recognize a few faces in the pictures below from last season's THE NEXT GREAT AMERICAN BAND on Fox. Jared Ribble (percussion) of DENVER AND THE MILE HIGH ORCHESTRA and John Howard (bass) of SIXWIRE . Both bands made it all the way to the top 3!
Thank you so much for coming by my profile and when you do, please drop me a message. I would love to hear from you.
