"Dare to Live"

About Me

Well Howdy!!! If you made it this far down, I'd like to give a quick hello and say thanks for checking out my music. I have to say if it weren't for God in my life I wouldn't be where I'm at today....for the longest time, I never gave much thought to a God or a greater purpose to life....and man, the stories I could tell ya, to this day they still knock me off my feet....yes personal stuff......maybe a book will be written someday to share my validations......but until that day, I will continue to share with you the music that God has put in my heart and soul. I do not discriminate the style he sends me so ya might hear something pop, rock...or country......

Music has long been a passion and I've finally mustered up enough courage to follow a dream. Along my journey, I have encountered many pit stops, some self induced, and have learned that life is all about persistence, love and self acceptance. We really can be all we want to be...it all lies in the choices we make on a daily basis. What do you want to do with the rest of your life? Have you jumped off your cliff of fear? That was the hardest thing for me to do...but lookin' back, I wish I would have done it sooner....

God has a greater plan for ya than you can ever imagine...with an open heart, mind and an undeniable faith and trust in God I believe you too will see the fruits that your heart desires. I want to make music....and that's why I made the biggest decision of my life and left family and friends behind in Arizona. You can do it too...whatever you want.....it's yours for the taking....with a little hard work of course ;-) may your days be blessed....to a life of purpose, peace and love, ryno
