About Me

My real name is Brent and I used to play in a little band called Warriors Ink. and just wanted to try some solo work as my band has come to a close for the most part. (This is not to say we won't all play together again in the future if we get the chance :) ) For all songs posted on here, I do some of my own instruments, all the writing, and vocals with the exception of "You Complete Me" where the lyrics were adapted from a friend's genius poem about her love for God. I'm not really a big deal muscian and I get out to public coffee houses only as my tight work schedule permits, but like many other good folks I simply wanted to share the ability and passion God has give me for music with you. The thrust of my music is to share my love for God, and what He does in my life through circumstances and people. I hope you are ministered to. I love playing at coffee houses and churches or whatever venue happens to let in new guys like me who need a chance to grow in the music feild. I have only been at this for a couple years. On the side, I work in the secular workplace, in youth ministry, and have passions and talents in the arts.
