Story

You just do not get up in the morning saying you are going to be a song writer or musician. For the most part, it is in your blood and surroundings and it stays in your soul. You can call it soul or groove and it never leaves you. Here is my story, around the age of eight years I felt the soothing effects that music had on me as my grandmother sang her favorite songs. At the age of fifteen, I started writing songs and becoming a member of BMI and SOCAN. I love writing songs and hearing other artist singing them. Not only does it motivates me to write more but it gives me great joy.
