Artist History From the age of eight this native Dallas, Texan has had a real nack for writing and understanding the composition of a chronological storyline and a catchy hook, and how crucial intellectual wordplay is to a hit song. His love for music flourished in grade school when he joined the band in sixth grade playing various percussion instruments from xylophone and concert pedal drums to the piano and a stage drum kit. After the fundamentals were learned there was no stopping him. This self-taught gutarist claims to be "faking it" when it comes to shooting the six string. Comically he banters, "I've just played the same thing over and over....so I guess it gives the impression that I know what I'm doing". His vocal style may be influenced by Garth, McGraw, and Tritt, but his originality cannot be mistaken. Powerfull execution with superb range and fierce emotion, his is an up and coming force to be reckoned with. Equally impressive be it a ballad or an uptempo dance tune, the future's looking bright for this talented artist.
