About Me

A true musician is more than just one who plays music. A true musician is one who lives music. They enjoy playing music whether theres a crowd of people, or just a shower head listening. They search through everyday life for lyrics and melodies to write down in their memories as songs. True musicians practice everyday for hours and hours, not because they want to get better, but because they love what they play. A true musician writes, not to get commercially famous, but to find that peace within his/herself that is met when a good song is written. As one of a dying breed, I live by the phrase "Love what you play, and others will too".

So Love what you play, and others will too.
