"WHEN YOU DON'T GET WHAT YOU WANT, YOU GET EXPERIENCE."I HAVE WENT FROM A SHAKIN' MESS HIDIN' BEHIND A PIECE OF PAPER TO INCORPORATING A FEW VOCALS INTO MY PIECES AND EVENTUALLY ACTUALLY SINGIN' THEM WITH MY PIECES ON STAGE. YUP, WITH PPL WATCHIN' ME...:) IT'S BEEN A JOURNEY ON AND OFF THE PAPER, ON AND OFF THE STAGE, WITH AND WITHOUT A MICROPHONE. READING AND PERFORMING ARE VERY DIFFERENT AND WHILE LEARNIN' THOSE DIFFERENCES I LEARNED EVEN MORE ABOUT MYSELF. I HAVE 1 CD AND 1 BOOK AVAILABLE.I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER OF SNOW INDUSTRIES SINCE 2006. I WORKED THE DOOR AT MR. A'S FOR THE FIRST 9 MONTHS OR SO AND I NOW MAINTAIN THE GROUP'S MYSPACE PAGE. PHOTOGRAPHY INCLUDED. I HOST EVERY SO OFTEN.
