About Me

"Music should strike fire
from the heart of man,
and bring tears
from the eyes of woman.”
~Ludwig Van Beethoven

Art is Art
Have you ever wondered why top 40 music is so lame? It is because they are not concerned about art; they are only concerned about money....Making it, that is....I have found a way to preserve my artistic vision while producing music for the sake of the song! Help me get my music heard! If you like what you hear, spread the word! Wouldn't it be nice to know that in this crazy world people can work together to manifest a brighter future!?!
