Ummm, well, there's me. And sometimes Jared (bro), Josh (hubby), Robin (mom), Steve (dad), Kace (buddy), or Chad (personal banker)... But only sometimes. Mostly it's just me. Me and my iPod. Me and my CD. Me and... me.
Influences
My personal influences are: my Mom, my Dad, and countless others who have poured into my life and invested in me.
My musical/vocal influences include (but are not limited to): Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Ce Ce Winans, Carrie Underwood, Fleetwood Mac, the Beatles, Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Wilson Phillips, Bonnie Raitt, Natalie Grant, Alison Krauss, Queen Aretha, Etta James, Susan Tedeschi... the list could go on and on.
I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
My Daddy bought me my first piano. Since he traveled singing and preaching, I went along and started singing on stage when I was 3 years old. I participated in Music and Chorus in High School and went on to Emmanuel College on a Music scholarship.
At EC, I was involved in Chamber Chorale (give it up for the awful dresses, girls!) and traveled with the Emmanuel Singers. My degree is in Vocal Performance with a minor in piano.
Once I graduated from Emmanuel College, I studied art at the University of Georgia for a year. I began working for Trinity Family Worship Center as Minister of Music at age 21 and after a year there, moved to a local church called the Shepherd's Door. It was there that I learned so much about leading worship and I attribute much of my confidence and development as a worship leader to my work there.
Today, I am the Minister of Music at Believer's Fellowship Assembly of God in Conyers, Georgia- East of Atlanta. I have participated in 4 recording projects with my Dad, 1 recording project with a local band called "Throne," and 1 project in which I provided all lead and background vocals for a local writer.
As of this week, I have begun pre-production on my very first solo project. Music runs in my veins.

Sorry I haven't responded until now. I NEVER check this music page any more. I always update my main Myspace page with new pics of me, Jennifer and my daughter. I haven't even been keeping up with my other music page either........I've been bad :) How's your family doing? I still check your page every so often for updates on you and your family. How's life been treating you? By the way, head over to my main page (the link is on this account page) to respond or I may not get it for another couple of months :) Good to hear from you.
Glad to be your newest myspace friend. Hope you check out my blog to discover my myspace quest and check out samples of my lyrics and poetry. You can even hear a few of the songs that I have co-authored. May God Bless you!!!
I know!!! I was kinda upset about it. but i heard about the LA opportunity thing. very neat. I love you and miss you as well. i miss singin with you. If anything we need to get together and strum the six string so I can hear those pipes of yours.
that's great news!....I'll be praying for you guys and the new baby. As for the jam, I told your dad I have a recording session in Marietta that afternoon. If that doesn't wind up being a lengthy deal, then I'll be at the jam session. Have a great week!
That sounds great! All we have to do now is keep your dad straight on which songs I play guitar on and which songs I play dobro on. That will be the kicker. Keeping him straight. See ya soon. Have a great week! God Bless!
Yeah....I need some MUZAK! I'll get around to it eventually. I keep passing my shadow going the other way right now. God Bless you and Josh and all the family. Love you guys! Take care! See ya soon...
Girl, I had forgotten how awesome a voice you had. I listened to "I Bless Your Name" and was reminded of those "Conquench" days, LOL. I couldn't get the other song to play. And let's not forget, "Hold On....Help is on the way...Help, help, help.....!" Kind of makes you miss Jeff McCoy, ha ha. We need a Singer's reunion BAD!
