About Me

I took piano lessons when i was younger and hated it, but just a few years ago began to teach myself to play again. I really enjoy playing and writing music is a big outlet for me, its almost like a therapy and really helps me with other aspects of my life. I know my songs are simple but they are my own so i have pride in them. I just wanted to show everyone what i do during all of my free time, hope you enjoy. I plan to go into the studio very soon. If you would like for me to play i will play pretty much anywere so drop me a line and we can work something out.BRAND NEW ALBUM!!!Click Hear to order today! only 5 dollars plus shipping!YOU CAN BUY THROUGH PAYPAL WITH THE BUTTON ABOVE OR YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE ALBUM HERE!!
