About Me

I'm an artist and musician. Just trying to make the best of my time and live a very happy and fun life. I hold the moment I'm in, call it now, with the highest regard. I wish only for those around me to feel at ease. I've been playing guitar since about eleven years old. I feel a compelling urge to create anything that makes me or others feel inspired. Live free always. Don't give up on your dreams ever. success is a choice. I choose to live a full life. I choose to be happy. I choose to love all things I encounter, animated or not. We are all apart of the same source. We are all energy. What is sent out always comes back. I'm all about good vibes and good times. I'll jam with just about anyone who is down. Music sets the spirit free and makes the body move. Peace and love, hope to hear from you.
