i am speaking fine...

About Me

i first picked up the guitar 8 years ago when a cousin let me borrow hers. to be honest, but the only reason i started playing was to get hot chicks... well from a 14-year-olds perspective, that's all the motivation i needed. but from that short lived dream came something i could never imagine. i went from relationship to relationship writing songs about girls that were in my life... always looking for the next girl... (or next song...) the songs that i've written over the last 3 years will always be in my heart. i'm always looking for inspiration in everything, whether through situations i'm in, or in people i meet. i hope you can take away something from my music. something deeper than, "oh, that sounds pretty..." my prayer is you find something in my music that takes you somewhere you never thought you could go. somewhere real.thanks,R.K.
