I was very fortunate to have a parent that loved all styles of music. My father spent evenings and weekends singing along with the jams on the family stereo, digging rock & roll, country, pop, and blues tunes. I grew up listening to a little of everything.
I have moved around a lot and sang everywhere from Florida to Guam. Like most artist I have been willing to sing in most every kind of venue or gig.
I've been writing creatively all my life and naturally combined the two as I got more and more into the business.
I released my first cd Cross Road in 2005 it was an eclectic mix of styles to say the least. I had a great time writing and experimenting with the different sounds my producer and co-writer JP Goggin and I created.
I was fortunate to meet several wonderful writers and other people in the biz over in Hawaii and was convinced that it was time to try writing songs that other artist would appreciate and want to sing. I had always dreamed of working Nashville and now successful people in the music business were telling me that was where I should be. So with one meeting set up at BMI off to Nashville I went. It's amazing what someone who has lots of determination and doesn't know enough to be intimidated can accomplish. After traveling back and forth from Hawaii to Nashville I made the move and left the beautiful islands to chase my dream.
Although I love writing Country, Rock and Pop.
I have always been more of a Blues Style performing artist and had written quite few songs that I could really sink my teeth into. So this past year I started going into the studio and working on a cd to do some of the songs that I really love to sing. I had a wonderful time and must thank all the people that helped to get it done especially Gene Rabi at Studio A.
Blonde Hair Blues is a collection of songs that pays tribute to some of the different styles found in the Blues as well as a few songs that are really from a more Rock or Country perspective but since those two genre' are so influenced by the Blues and I just loved the songs I figured I would be forgiven for including them on the project.
I am blessed to be writing with some very special and talented people here in Nashville. They are so inspiring. I am thankful everyday that I get to do what I love and live in a town that any given day I get to hear such great music.
Blonde Hair Blues will be available in February please check back and take a listen to the new songs.
