New CD, A Fate You Can't Avoid, out next week!

About Me

My music is what keeps me alive; what keeps me loving every second of every day. Music and God. Basically, music is my life and Christ is my hope... a fire that burns inside. And I have one more love... my country. I am proud to be a UNITED STATES SAILOR. There is no greater honor than to know that I can serve my country when duty calls.I recently moved to Charleston, South Carolina and I'm looking to play some shows, spread the word on my music, and make some new friends. I'm lovin' it here and looking forward to see what great things life has in store. I just came off of a successful run with a punk band and I'm trying a new style (although i'm still looking for a pop punk group to hook up with in the area). Comment and let me know what you think of my music. I'd really love to hear from you.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/26/2006
Band Members:

Just me, Midas, no one else.


Influences:

I'm influenced by everything I hear, and considering I listen to EVERYTHING, it would be tough to list them all.

My music is a little Something Corporate, a little Brand New, a little Jack Johnson, a little John Mayer, a little Beatles, a little Jason Mraz, a little Captain Planet, a little Jesus, a little Peter Griffin... but mostly OJ Simpson.


Sounds Like:

-soft summer rain
-the smells of autumn
-fluffy puppies
-Christmas morning when you were 8 years old
-your mom
-and heaven-on-a-stick

Why on a stick, you ask? Well heaven-on-a-stick without the stick would just be heaven, silly!

"I don't sound like nobody."
-Elvis Presley


Type of Label: None
