Influences

Image Hosting by PictureTrail.com I've had so many wonderful influences in my life, I almost don't know where to begin!! My mom, dad, and brother have always been a big influence. My mom has always been patient with me and helped me work on my guitar playing. She has always encouraged me to sing, though I refused when I was younger! My mom has always encouraged my writing, be it poetry, fiction, or music; she has always praised my writing. Mom writes a lot of music herself, and in doing so has inspired me to write more of my own, so we help each other out with ideas and such. My dad taught me to play the bass guitar, and like mom always encouraged me to sing. My brother learned to play guitar much sooner than I, so I always wanted to be able to out play my older brother (though I think he probably still out-plays me). Since we've been grown, my brother has also encouraged me to sing; we've always been close and brutally honest with each other, so from him it is certainly a huge compliment and boost of confidence! Both of my grandmothers have also supported me and encouraged me. So to my whole family, THANK YOU!! For everything! I hope I wont disappoint! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As far as music, there is such a variety of influences, some seem like opposites they are so different!! Stevie Nicks is my newest hero. I absolutely love her!! She is so amazing. I love Jewel, her determination has always inspired me and her lyrics as well. I am also a big Rachel Proctor fan. I have always loved John Berry, his lyrics are so powerful and his voice too. While I write mostly country, I love Blues, Jazz, and Rock. BB King is obviously awesome. I love Joss Stone for being different, and India Arie for the same reason, they are both beautiful artists. Dianna Krall is wonderful Jazz! And here it is, I love Metallica! They were awesome in concert and their music is so powerful, no matter how many covers I have heard of their songs, no one has been able to recreate it with the same effect. I know there is a huge variety of music listed there, but what can I say? I love it all!! Cover song - Dont It Make My Brown Eyes Blue

Born and raised in rural Lyles, Tn. music has always been part of my life. From my earliest memories, I rember my grandma cooking dinner every friday night, and after dinner everyone would sit around and play their guitars, banjos, whatever they had. It was great. My mom and dad also play, so many nights I fell asleep to the sound of someone picking on a guitar. Since then, I've tried to learn to play a little for myself and have finally combined two of my life long passions, music and writing. I've begun to learn my way around the music scene and play at various places around Nashville and Jackson TN. I had my first radio interview about a year ago, and have been pressing forward ever since! I've participated in several writers contests around Nashville and in some radio vocal competitions in Jackson,Tn and have loved every second of it! I currently have 7 original songs fully produced and am working on some new projects, so check out my Ourstage.com and DigitalRodeo.com pages too! There will be many new things in the near future!!
