Music is my beloved friend. I love making it, singing it, hearing it, watching it. I'm a freelance visual/music industry artist, I love what I do. However, music is a bigger passion. Click here to visit my NEW indie project, Niteowl. You may also refer to my blog "Homemade Music Video" to watch our newly released song 'Holiday'. I will be posting my music updates frequently so keep checking back. Thanks!

Music:
Music is a gift
"Bring... bring it home? All right, let's bring it home. If you was hit by a truck and you was lying out there in that gutter dying, and you had time to sing *one* song. Huh? One song that people would remember before you're dirt. One song that would let God know how you felt about your time here on Earth. One song that would sum you up. You tellin' me that's the song you'd sing? That same Jimmy Davis tune we hear on the radio all day, about your peace within, and how it's real, and how you're gonna shout it? Or... would you sing somethin' different. Somethin' real. Somethin' *you* felt. Cause I'm telling you right now, that's the kind of song people want to hear. That's the kind of song that truly saves people. It ain't got nothin to do with believin' in God, Mr. Cash. It has to do with believin' in yourself."
