About Me

Music is my life. From the time my father bought me my first guitar to the present day, performing and writing music has been my main focus. I started out playing classical guitar and took lessons for 13 years. I fell out of touch with classical music because I felt that it was not something that I could make my own. It was not something that I could come up with my own interpretation of without desecrating the piece of music. I had always been writing my own songs but never really got a chance to play them until about five years ago when I started going to open mics. After building up enough confidence I started booking my own shows and other performers had asked me if I was interested in playing shows with them. Over the past few years I have released two self-recorded/self-released EP's, "Remnants of David" (2003) and "These are for You" (2004). I have currently finished working on a new 5-song CD entitled "Then Was Then." If you like the music I have posted, please check back here for upcoming shows. Also, copies of "Then Was Then" are available in the local music section at SOLO Records (Royal Oak - 1bk. north of 12 1/2 Mile on the east side of Woodward). Thanks to all of those who have supported me and believed in my music.Myspace Backgrounds

New Music In Player....

So, I used some of my tax return to buy a Lexicon Lambda recording interface and recorded a few short classical works.  I am looking to incorporate more classical music into my sets at shows.  Thanks ...
