I was Born in Lewiston, Maine back in 78. Lived there for a while, my pop was stationed in the Navy there. My mom and Pop Split up and I later spent the rest of my youth on the back bays of the southern New Jersey shore. Much like a lot of people I didn't have much growing up. My mom being a single parent and all, raising three kids wasn't easy, especially being on welfare.

I always had a love for music.
I first touched a guitar when I was.. damn.. I can't remember, had to have been like, 6? not exactly sure.. It was in a closet at my Grand moms house. I remember looking at this thing like it was from outer space! I had to know more about it, how does it work? where does the sound come from? what is it good for? can I keep it? I had my fun with it for about a month or two, no one in the household knew how to play the damn thing so I was basically screwed. I had to figure it out on my own.

We moved after some more life changing crap. I picked music back up around 10 years old. My older brother was (at the time) the stereo typical older brother, *don't be my shadow* stop following me* *you're a dweeb* *get bent* All the loving things an older brother shares with his younger brother to fuel and nurture encouragement for the future. We were kids that's what older brothers do right?. HA! He had a garage band. In the basement. Which I still find funny today, being that the term comes from bands actually playing in a garage.

I would listen through the woodwork and try to find notes while playing on one of his guitars. Eventually I did that to radio tunes, then records, videos, and soon enough I was playing my favorite songs, by my favorite artists. I had no idea what the hell I was playing, I just went by ear and if it sounded right, that was it for me.

Again more life changing crap went by, I kept playing, and playing, Then more crap.. followed by moving to Philly.. that was a bust. My Apt burned down and it was a horrible outcome. Moved Home. Worked the good old ODD JOBS here and there. I was still writing music, and playing to anyone who would listen, or to anyone who wanted me to play for them. Hell I did it because I loved it! it was fun! I'm getting tired of writing it's my A.D.D. so yeah, blah blah blah, I've been writing my own music since 15, I love playing music, I've achieved all my musical goals, I'm happy with my life, I am looking forward to traveling and playing shows, I'm a blue color fellow.

I don't want fame nor fortune, I play music because I love it, it's free therapy for me which is nice because my shrink no longer takes my Insurance and the out of pocket is Killing me!. I got an album, I hope you dig it. If you know of any places that you'd think I'd fit in playing at let me know. I'll drive there or do what I have to to come and play. Not looking for Record Deals, or crap like that. I enjoy my freedom thank you very much. I like my life and the fact that I'm a True Independent artist. So that's about it.

Description: Truthful and honest songs ripped from real life. These songs are flesh and bone, everyone takes different paths in life. This album is a testament of some of my own. Maybe you can Identify. Maybe you can't. Regardless, it's good music.
