About Me

I started playing guitar when i was 10 inspiring from Beatles albums and Ben Lee CD's laying about. My grandmother took me to J.C.Penny Warehouse and bought me my first acoustic guitar... a black synphonic dreadnought for $37.00.... yesssss! Growing up as a kid listening to mostly punk (GreenDay, MXPX, Rancid, etc...) my first initial intentions were... I WANNA PLAY PUNK ROCK..... on an acoustic....... So I taught myself how to play a power chord and the rest was history. After memorizing every Greenday song Billie Joe Armstrong could devise I decided... I wanna write my own songs!!! So i dabbled here and there failing miserably at every encounter. Down the road of boyhood I started dating a beautiful young girl who seized my heart from the moment I laid eyes down. It was there when i found my calling... I was gonna write love songs for my newly acquired reason for being! As time passed so did we... the relationship drew weary and dull, and I started writing more melodramatic songs involving heartbreak and sorrow. As the years have gone by... I've gone in and out of love and heartbreak, and have added many songs to the growing collection. Every song written by my pen has significant meaning, purpose, reason to be... Its been 16 years now, still writing, still singing, still unsigned, but not without hope! I have more than enough faith in my music. The only thing i hope to achieve in life is that my music touchs someone/some people in a way that they listen and draw a relation. They may listen to a song of mine and say, "This song pisses me off because it reminds me of when my ex left me for my bestfriend!", or "This song is the perfect depictiion of how amazing my girlfriend is!" Who knows, who cares... if you love it, hate it, think its mediocre, whatever... as long as its touched you in some way shape of form, I've done my job well. I dont think my music is going to take me somewhere, I KNOW it will... its just a matter of time!

Survival of the Fittest!

I touched on a subject months ago about taking a track off the EP, and was scolded by a few of you in keeping it on the EP.  I struggled on vocal day for "Just One More Word" and was in contempla...
