About Me



!

-grew up in nashville from an artistically talented family. started on this musical journey with alto, tenor and bari sax. moved onto drums when i was 13. 10 years later and i'm still playing and finding my center. moved to memphis to reunite with my closest friend and previous band mate, andrew. currenly working on a new project with some really gifted people.

My Interests

self proclaimed music junkie, and i need to practice drums everyday or i start to go through withdrawls. i like to learn other instruments whenever possible. i love to strech. love olives. i love the color green, and not because of money. write origional music. I also like to express myself visually in any medium i can find. being outdoors in general is important, except when its freakin ugly outside. learning new instruments, and studying human behavior (myself included). I LOVE REAL PEOPLE, the type that is not afraid to wear their true selves on the surface. i cant stand it when people are fake with me, cause i can tell and it makes me sad. stuff.........
