Bio

I am a 38-year-old husband and father of six living in Florida. I currently perform and record all music myself at home, because like most musicians I do not have the money for studios or studio musicians. I do have some older songs I recorded with studio musicians in the early 1990’s; they worked for beer and cigarettes. I have been writing since the age of fourteen and was front man for several bands in my late teens and early twenties. I suffered permanent vocal cord injuries in 2000. This seriously limits my singing ability, as you can tell if you listen to some of my newer songs, so I am now focusing on my songwriting. I am currently seeking a publishing deal and/or new artist to write for. So please do not judge my performance try to hear yourself or your artist singing the songs. I have many other songs not yet recorded, so if you are looking for a certain genre or style of song let me know I may have something up your alley or be able to create one for you! Thanks to my wife Brandy and my children for loving and putting up with me, my mom for always encouraging and believing in me, my dad for his musical roots, my grandmother (rest her soul) for always telling me how great I was even when I wasn't. And a special thanks to my friend and co-writer Richard Mack Thomas, the one that keeps me keepin' on with my music. I have several songs that he has co-written with me on this showcase. And and most of all God, who has blessed me way beyond what I deserve!
