My music is heard on radio, in feature films, tv shows, and in international commercials.

I bought my first guitar at the age fourteen with my bus boy money. I quit the following day. I had little interest in learning other people's music, having written my first song shortly after figuring out how to make a couple of chords. That song was “Wet Smoke” inspired by looking out the window at the low hanging fog. Inspiration had taken over. It wasn't very good but you couldn't tell me that, and to this day songwriting and the art of recording has never been absent in my life. But I soon learned the best way to earn money playing music, was to learn the songs on the radio and to be part of a band. Here you learn how and why a song connects with an audience. But ten years prior to this period, I had an all original band and composed some really good songs that got the attention of Columbia Records and recorded “The Mass for Shut-ins”. Finding early success, failure, love, heartbreak, anger, pain, is the pathway to good storytelling. I think by starting out not copying what everybody else was doing gave me a uniqueness. I have never been compared to any other recording artist and that can be a double-edged sword as familiarity is what most people want. I consider this much more now as a seasoned music producer. So these days I find great balance and pleasure in writing what ever I feel, and as well, taking popular songs and seeing if I can make them even better for a whole new generation of music lovers.
