About Me

THE CD IS OUT!!!! AND AVAILABLE THROUGH CDBABY.COM and I TUNES...WEB SITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION. I was born and raised in Baton Rouge and will probably die here unless I decide to carry the high speed car chase followed by a gun fight out side city limits. My influences have definitely helped me shape my sound. I feel that you can find humor in almost anything and try to convey that in my songs. Usually my song writing process is a little like a violent regurgitation, I find that what ever feelings I have ingested about a topic will eventually come out in one way or another but when it comes out in song, my fingers move about the frets of the guitar and words just spew from my mouth and then I clean it up. The concept of the project was to put 2 different genres of music together that usually don’t mix and see what happens. My first project I worked on was called Gangsta Folk and many of the songs I have I wrote for that project. check with me again, i might change this up one day.I would like to give thanks to http://www.funnelcreativejuices.com for my graphics/art work on my album and video footage. Playing @ Chelsea’s in Baton Rouge...I don’t know these people or even know what the hell they are saying but apparently they know about FOLKY
