About Me

I'm from a small South East Texas town called Port Neches, where all there is to do is be creative or just exist, working in refineries. So I chose to write music, and get the hell out of there. I owe my talents to my Poppa and my Grandpa, who inspired me at a very young age. I really really like cats, giraffes and robots. I am a bit of a dork. Travel, pain and random documentaries I happen to catch on TV, tend to lend a hand in my writing. I like soul, folk rock and trip hop music. I'm currently involved in a band called "The Tangle" they are my family. I am trying to find some musicians to write with on the side. Most of my songs were written solo, but I've had some killer contributing members over the years. As soon as I find these warm bodies to be creative with, I'll play some shows and sex it up a little.
