I was born into an amazing family (product of the 60’s and 70’s), who used to sit by the fire with some cocktails, guitars and singers- playing it all from Jim Croce and The Beatles.I first SERIOUSLY picked up a guitar when I was 15. Dad wanted a country singer/guitar player, but I wanted to ROCK!!! I borrowed an old Lotus guitar and practice amp from a friend and started learning classic rock and heavy metal.It wasn’t until Jewel came out in 1995 that I realized I had some talent playing and singing acoustic guitar. (See kids….sometimes dad IS right!!!) I started learning songs in my vocal range that were fairly easy on guitar and built up my skills from there. This was a VERY special and magical time for me musically because I was discovering my own musical voice. In addition, I began to truly FALL IN LOVE with acoustic guitar. It can be such an emotional tool that can sound simple or complex, and has a very natural beauty in its tone. Ironically those are the same qualities I seek out in musicians. People like Jewel, Jonatha Brooke and Khaki King that reach the listener on so many different emotional plateaus- no gimmicks necessary. If one can do that with just an acoustic guitar, imagine the possibilities of other instrumentation…By the time I reached my early 20’s, I started writing simple little songs that sounded very country/pop with easy major chord structures, (which is still a mighty fine genre and sound in my book). But with age comes hard times, and the things I had to face in life like many other people- needed to come out. Writing became my emotional mirror that helped me to deal with some stuff and release some tension. The result is acoustic rock- with a set of BALLS!
