When people try and pull me down or things don't work out quite the way i would like I think of this video among other things to inspire me. This and my Uncles loss to cancer help to pull me through and know that no matter what the set back in life there is probably someone else out there who has it a little tougher! I have a greater appreciation of life and am inspired to no end!

I am a passionate singer and songwriter that is just begining to make my mark on the music world. I grew up in a small historic town called Berlin, Marlyland. Berlin's located right between the Country and the Beach, my two favorite places. any day of the week you might catch me riding a surf board or a horse, but the thing in Berlin that was the biggest part of my life was my passion for music. This passion brought me to Nashville, TN where I am now living my Dream.
I started singing when I was seven years old. I remember when my mother took me to our local nursing homes to sing to the elderly. This touched my life and is an inspiration to me and my direction in music today. As I got older I took part in music programs throughout middle school and high school. I never will forget when my middle school chorus teacher told me "Your going to be a Star!!" It wasn't until the past year and a half that I finally realized she was right!
After making my performance debuts, in my hometown Berlin and Baltimore, Maryland, I was interviewed on numerous occassions by Froggy 99.9 and asked to perform live on 98.1 Irie radio. In time I developed a relationship with Cat Country and they named me, Nashville's Next Big Star! All of my hometown radio stations know that great things are going to happen while in Nashville.
Recently I was given the opportunity to open a Pre-Concert Party for Montgomery Gentry and Lady Antebellum. I have been waiting for the right time to come to Nashville and begin recording all the songs I have written. And now I'm living the Dream!.
I am a very emotional and passionate singer and songwriter that has a huge Heart along with a ton of energy. All of my music comes from the deepest depths of my soul and I tend to get lost in my music during performances as the song takes over. You can see that in my live shows. Throughout my career I have written over 70 songs. And although I love many different styles of music, Country is my Heart! My songs truly reflect the heart and soul of Country as they describe real life experiences. My goal is to touch the lives of people that listen to my music. Through my music I want to help them heal and relate to an emotion or time in their life that is happy, fun or sad. I also want to be the guy who makes you blast you stereo and let loose for some of the greatest times of your life!
Music is not just a part of my life, it has truly consumed my life. With every word and note, I feel it! I am determined that with this fire, this passion for music, burning inside of me that I will reach the top! As you watch me grow in the music industry please know that I appreciate your support. Don't forget to check the page often for news, updates and music. Everyone viewing this page is a part of my upcoming success! Thank you!
When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit... By all means pray, and don't you quit. Success is failure turned inside out, God's hidden gift in the clouds of doubt.
You never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar. So trust in the Lord when you're hardest hit... It's when things go wrong that you must not quit!

Hi Jimmy, do you sometimes feel that technology is taking away from music? I do and that's why I decided to take part in the Yello 'Bostich' remix contest on beatport, which is the #1 download portal for electro, techno, dance, house, trance, ....
The Alien Graffiti remix adds some electric guitars and a Morin Khuur (mongolian horse head fiddle) to that mile stone in electronic music from 1984. It's called BOSTICH GOES ROCK|Not What You Expected and if you want to support Alien Graffiti in this contest, please "Spin It".
I saw this story and it reminded me of a similar situation with my youngins.
Last week I took my children to a restaurant. My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good. God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if Mom gets us ice cream for dessert. And Liberty and justice for all! Amen!"
Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby I heard a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice-cream! Why, I never!"
Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?" As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table.
He winked at my son and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer. " "Really?" my son asked. "Cross my heart," the man replied. Then in a theatrical whisper he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."
Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son stared at his for a moment and then did something I will remember the rest of my life. He picked up his sundae and without a word, walked over and placed it in front of the woman;
With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes; and my soul is good already."

I thank you for your support and interest in this project!
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. The road to Success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success.
A love so sacred and divine. A love that I can now call mine. A love so beautiful, real and true. A love like you Lord, a love that is you. A love that nurtures, heals and cares. A love that speaks to me in tenderness and brings me to tears. A love that is free for all to cherish, and given by one so that none should perish. A love that strengthens me, as it draws me towards you. I witness your miracle an am cleansed anew. A love so kind as it fills my mind. I see your light and am no longer blind. A love for all time, a love that is mine. What a pleasure it is Lord, to love only you.
