When I was five I wanted to take piano lessons to learn the song “Chariots of Fire.” You know, duh nuh nuh nah nuh nuh… inspired to go running? Me too... so I learned some piano, played soccer, chased girls that ignored me, and sang in the “good, but ever-so-nerdy” Texas Boys Choir.
When my voice started cracking uncontrollably, they kicked me out. (You mean that’s NOT pretty?) So I picked up my Dad’s old Gibson guitar, learned a few chords, and started writing songs… some of which were so bad I laugh (and cry) hysterically when I hear them again. (Why did I ever put that on a CD???)
I formed a high school band whose first gig was around my neighbor’s pool. Not quite Madison Square Gardens, but close. Over the next few years we bought a van, hit the road playing music, and had a total blast. There’s something about five stinky dudes in a van driving cross-country that is really hard to beat…
College came around and I went to good ol’ Baylor U. Not a lot of sports victories to celebrate, but the people there were incredible. I made life-long friends and was blessed with lots of opportunities to play my tunes. This past summer I was there again for some performance dates and took the opportunity to write some music. Picture this – gorgeous night, cool breeze, alone on a swing in the middle of campus at 2am… perfect moment right? It was… until the sprinklers kicked on and soaked my guitar and computer. Classic.
After graduation and a few fun years in Houston, I headed to Nashvegas, TN… songwriting capitol of the world! For me, it was the only choice. After lots of soul searching, I realized that at the end of my life I would always wonder “what if” if I chose to stay comfortable. Like an actor in LA, I’m attempting the impossible… but I’ve never been more at peace (or had more fun!).
Upon arrival, it was clear I needed to discover who I was as an artist—to “find my voice,” so to speak. I knew who I liked, and maybe even sounded like a bit, but I had never really found that “thing” that makes my music unique. I may always be on a journey of self-discovery, but with this latest CD offering, I can finally give you “me” in its truest form. I genuinely hope these songs connect with you, stir up some memories, make you belt out in your car, and bring you out to a concert to do it all again.
