Artist History I grew up in Indiana, Terre Haute to be exact, that's pronounced tear-ah hoe-t. I'm not too hooked on phonetics or phonics yet for that matter. I lived a pretty normal childhood I think. When I was 11 years old I discovered music. I was in band (playing percussion) and I started learning to play the guitar also. My little sister was in choir and played a little piano so she taught me some stuff too. She lives in the Midwest with the rest of my family. I had other musicians around me just learning to play. So I spent the rest of my years in Indiana going to concerts, playing in bands, and dreaming of being a true, soul-searching, groupie-lovin', beat poundin', half-suicidal, pure rockstar. In college I formed a band based on my necessity to create and perform music with others; we were into Hendrix, Weezer, Chili Peppers, Jackson 5; stuff with soulful guitar with pop influence and trend-starting ability. In 1998 that band decided to go west to California. So, here we were, 5 young musicians with a new CD and a dream (well, make that dreams)...you'll notice that that band is no longer together and there are many reasons for that, which are revealed in many songs. See, it's a funny thing, when things start to grow in good ways, as they did with the band, things also start to grow in bad ways and you find out what your bandmates' priorities really were. So, the priorities were different, but that's how I discovered, through a series of trials, just who I am. I am a human being with a desire to take a dream, just a dream, and turn it into reality. To take my vision, that I feel is a beautiful vision that will affect the whole world, and have physical vehicles (songs, images, poems, events), that I take part in creating to carry the spirit of a message that transcends space, time, religion, color, creed, sex, opinions, preferences, and hindrances. A message that puts every single receiver into the endless river of destiny. A place where we all swim, where we've always been, and where we will always be. A place where we blissfully discover what is real, what our dreams are made of, what our longings are for, what makes our hearts beat, and gives us the very breath of life.
