No one should have more fun than the band!

About Me

I moved to Nashville in 2004 and immediately loved the city, but decided that there was just too much talent in this town, so I gave up on the idea of music and got a real job. Two years later that would all change.I do security at a bar on Music Row, and on a whim I got up on stage with the band one Saturday night and sang a song. The next week people were requesting me to sing again, and every week after that I continued to get requests. Then I met a representative at A.S.C.A.P. and asked him to listen to my songs just to see if I ever had anything that was good, he liked my songs. A friend of mine runs a writers night in town and again I asked to play it just so I could know what it would have been like to be an artist. Again everyone loved it. People enjoyed the show, and my songs, and i was hooked. So now I write, I meet people to write with, and I play whenever I can.I live by the motto that no one should have more fun than the band. If I never make it to the big time, I don't care. I'm enjoying the ride along that way, no matter where it leads me. Thank you for checking out my page. I hope you enjoy my music.
