Influences
My influences are too broad to get into. I must mention my Moms however. She is a walking musical. I credit her with forming my understanding for melody and soul. Thanks Mom!! Jeff Buckley comes in a close second. I learned to expand my vocal range by listening to Jeff's first album Grace. It must have been every day for 3 years straight. Thanks Jeff. And I must thank Tim Campbell for teaching me to play the drums and forming my foundation for rhythm.
Sounds Like
Me of course...but I've heard John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Jeff Buckley, Counting Crows, Dave Matthews yada yada
I am originally from N. Hollywood California. I was born to an aspiring vocalsit. My mom and dad were trying to produce an album when my father became ill. They had to return to New Jersey to be around family and their dream was over. My Mom then remarried to an Army man. As a family(Me my parents and my three sisters)we saw a good part of the U.S. We started out on Ft. Bragg N.C. then Ft Dix N.J. Then Step-Dad was off to flight school in Ft. Rucker Alabama. Then we were transfered to Ft. Ord CA. Perhaps the most beautiful place on earth!! Then my step-father was booted from the service and life became a roller coaster ride! It will all work together for good in the end of course. But I’ve not escaped this ride without many bumps and bruises along the way. I hope my music gives you an inside look at the pain and triumph that is my life. I’ve done it all by the grace of God no doubt. Hopefully you’ll be hearing me on a larger scale someday. I’ve got four beautiful children to take care of and I need lots of money!! HaHa! Peace to all!
