 As a music artist, poet, and photographer, I hope to capture what is "lost" and share the mysteries of what is "found." My life and art's passion is about discovery and sharing the beauty of the world, overcoming life's obstacles, and persevering despite opposition.
My music is about having fun and touching people's hearts, minds, and tastes with intelligent lyrics, strong vocals, and no nonsense acoustic beats that resonate in the discerning listener and still affect the masses.
I am influenced by the hooks of the greats like Neil Diamond, the heart of Bob Marley, and the soul's core of Shawn Mullins. I draw from all avenues of rock, blues, folk, acoustic, pop, and other genres to create an intimate acoustic experience and chemistry that is simply felt synergistically with a sprinkle of humor between songs.
It all started with a prayer and a dream when I graduated from high school amongst the lush green trees, sparkling rivers, and roaring ocean of the southern Oregon coast. Then, by the dawn of the following year, I transformed into a blossoming talented performer!
After playing in many groups in college and graduating with a music minor, I moved to the Seattle area to pave my own unique voice in the rich urban sonic landscape.
My music inspires diverse tastes worldwide with refreshingly raw intimate unplugged acoustic passion that satisfies the soul more than marketing formulas and pop sensationalism.
My wish is that I would inspire, heal, and encourage you to leave this seemly lost world better than when you found it.
Talents: Vocals, song-writing, arrangements, rhythm guitar, harmonica, trumpet, percussion, and starting the bass. I write originals and arrange unique approaches to covers.
