Coming to terms with my status as a drifter

About Me

I am a twenty six year old singer/song writter from Dana Point California. I am currently working on two projects (Folk it Over and Crooked Wookie), in hopes to expand my musical background. I am fortunate in my friends and family support, and thankfull for the talented musicians I so frequently get a chance to play with. This year is dedicated to travel and new expirences. More music is to come frequently so keep checking back and enjoy some of my favorite artists on the links below. Contact me via messages for booking or if anyone out there is looking for a singer (All styles).
"It begins, as most things begin, with a song.In the beginning, after all, were the words, and they came with a tune. That was how the world was made, how the void was divided, how the lands and the stars and the dreams and the little gods and the animals, how all of them came into the world.They were sung.The great beasts were sung into existence, after the Singer had done with the planets and the hills and the trees and the oceans and the lesser beasts. The cliffs that bound existence were sung, and the hunting grounds, and the dark.Songs remain. They last. The right song can turn an emperor into a laughingstock, can bring down dynasties. A song can last long after the events and the people in it are dust and dreams and gone. That's the power of songs. "
