When I was a toddler, I was bashing on a tiny octave and a half keyboard. I learned by ear, watching my dad practice for church. Being the son of a preacher man, Christian hymns were a huge part of my musical self-education.

At 13 I started writing for piano, focusing on "composing" instumentals, though I didn't read or write sheet music. But after a year, I started combining my poetry with the music and songs poured out of me. Soon after high school I bought a guitar and started all over again with the learning/writing process.

January 2009 I released my first solo recording, an acoustic 7 track EP, "demo for the solo listener." It served as a classy demo to sell or give away to anyone who showed an interest in what I have to share.

On January 26, 2010 comes my first full length album, which happens to be a live one! What began as a halfhearted test of a digital recorder turned into a fully formed, realized dream. I captured some of the most honest moments I've ever felt on a stage. A snapshot of the many shows at this cafe, "Live at The Q" will certainly stand as a landmark in my journey for a years to come.

I am a strong supporter of the DIY approach to anything involved with my music and my art. From merch to my website, I've made it all from scratch without much scratch to work with! And moving forward into this new year, I've plans for a wild mini-orchestral EP, tons of writing for two separate full length album concepts, and TONS of shows! See you around the bend.
