My Father was an amazing guitarist and when I was small he was heavy involved in touring and the Nashville scene. So I grew up around many very talented musicians, singer/songwriters and with guitars lying all around the house and late night recording sessions when he wasn't on the road. I was just amazed at the magic of music and started trying to play when I was too small to pick one up, with guitars all around me I started playing D's and A's etc. as my hands were too small to fit around the neck. I was I guess 4 or 5 years old at this point, and I remember in my earliest memories trying to write and sing original song's. My first instrument was an early 70's Fender mustang bass which my grandparents found used and bought for me to play at church. I played for a while in my teens with my parents doing country gospel music all over the east coast here in the USA at churches and festivals etc. Then I when on to do music professionally for about 10 years playing and working as a recording engineer. I totally stopped playing for a few years but realized I really missed the experience of music and the magic of writing and playing songs so I'm back, just trying to grow, learn and enjoy this magical ride of the gift and blessing of doing music. It's amazing having worked in million dollar studio's what can be done now with the technology available, I'm doing stuff now that was almost impossible with my current studio. Anyway blessings to all, and play more music as it changing everything! I've got a bunch more original stuff coming soon!
Music to me is like taking a breath it's something I have to do to be alive and I mean this in so many ways emotionally, mentally, spiritually etc.
