Well, if you want to know about me completely you have to invest 27 years, cause that's what I have in trying to figure me out. But I suppose I can provide a brief overview.
The Personal Side: I'm wysiwyg... for those who aren't computer geeks that means "what you see is what you get." I appreciate honesty, loyalty and bluntness. I'm on all ends of the spectrum, so I can enjoy myself in almost any setting. My friends say I'll start a conversation with anyone so I make friends most everywhere I go. My lifestyle stays pretty packed between work, band & making time for friends & family.
I like having fun and hanging out with friends. Music is my passion. I love the beach and enjoy the peaceful nature of the mtns. I like outdoor volleyball, campfires, horseback riding, & most anything that promotes harmless fun! I think NC beach music is one of a kind & I like being a Carolina girl. I can enjoy going to a museum or art show and having a glass of wine. I can enjoy a relaxing night at a coffee house listening to an acoustic player. I like doing traditional family things like ice skating or bowling b/c I haven't gotten the chance to do those things very often. I love hanging out with my peeps, be it going to the movies, a movie at home or just social time at one of our cribs. I also like going out on the town with them to dance or hear a new band. I am usually open to rollercoasters or things that appear they won't do me bodily harm or give me large bruises, haha. I love go karts, even though I am usually bruised afterwards! So I guess I'm pretty eclectic and easy-going for the most part. I can usually find the fun in most anything. Besides, it's more about the company you keep.
The Business Side: I'm currently a loan officer for Fidelity & Trust Mortgage. I love my job and love working with people each day to provide such a wonderful gift as homeownership.
The Rockstar Side: CC Ryders Band was started with my ex-fiance in 2002. We are a top 40 country, southern rock, blues & funk band made up of professional musicians. My soul purpose in being on stage is to bring smiles to our fans faces. I love to watch them dance and sing-a-long to our songs and briefly escape whatever stresses they may have in their lives. If that means I have to dance around and act crazy... well, we know that's not a stretch for me, haha.

Music:

I love listening to basically everything but heavy metal. I sing country, southern rock, & blues. I love going to Nickelback concerts!

Singing comes relatively easy; you only have to hit the right note at the right time while keeping beat and remembering the words... add in a little dash of stage presence with a smile... and when you're really good, actually feel it in your heart. Simple.

Movies:

I enjoy a plethora of movies. Dramas, thrillers, comedies, action & of course I love chick-flicks... hey, I'm female!
*Fried Green Tomatoes*Along Came Polly*The Departed*Someone Like You*One Fine Day*Shooter*The Italian Job*

Television:

--Grey's Anatomy, Prison Break, Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters, Cashmere Mafia, Boston Legal, Lost, America's Next Top Model, House & any CSI/Justice show.

Books:

No time to read! If I do it is thrillers or self-help/educational books.

Heroes:

There are only two people who ever offered to die for us. Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. One died for our soul, the other for our freedom.
