MySpace a place for friends

It all started the day my grandfather passed away, I was thirteen years old. Upon arriving at the house I locked myself in his study. I began thumbing through the books on his antique book shelf because they were flashing like sparklers, there was a red walnut model airplane on a mechanical stand with an inscription that read “Freedom is Flight” A sunburst acoustic Gibson leaned against the corner of the room. Like a creative flea jumping from one person to the other the guitar was beckoning to me. I gathered enough courage to pick it up. I strummed a few chords which my Grandfather had shown me and every emotion that a thirteen year old boy can feel hit me like a tornado. My hands became one with the instrument. I felt life leap inside me. My heart was full of something it had never known before. My spirit was dancing to an invisible song. That October afternoon I made a commitment to God and to my Grandfather that I would dedicate my life to the pursuit of a legacy that he passed on. I didn’t choose music it chose me.

What sets my music apart is it comes from a vulnerable place. Majority of what you will hear on the KMG stuff is the way it went down in the studio. Live. You get the good, the great, even a few mistakes. By nature it gives the music an extra edge.

It's like falling in love with a childhood sweetheart all over again. Whether it’s your first time experiencing the stories or your thousandth time on a journey through the melodic wavelengths of the songs, my goal is that time will forever remain an after thought. For more than ten years now I have been busy crafting, recording, singing, and performing. I was born to a southern family in a small suburban town on the out skirts of Raleigh, North Carolina. Our town had three stop lights, a Fourth of July bicycle parade, and a soda pop shop next to the public library; this is where I learned to dream.

Since moving to Los Angeles, I have had the fortunate opportunity of working with some of the industries most talented professionals including: Tim Myers (One Republic) Jeff Silbar (writer of “Wind Beneath My Wings”), Busbee (Writer: Rascal Flats), Tom Lillo (Lifehouse), and most recently producer Bruce Sugar (Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh). My latest project entitled ‘Now is Your Moment’ is a collection of 11 melodic pop rock songs that salute the past and make way for the future.
