I am a songwriter, musician, artist and audio specialist in Atlanta, GA. Originally, from Tallassee, AL. After achieving a Bachelors of Science in Music from the University of North Alabama I began a career as a theater technician at The Alabama Shakespeare Festival. During that time I also worked as a singer/songwriter and musician. From there I spent years working for Universities honing my technical skills as an audio/visual specialist. In the last two years I have dedicated my time to music as both a writer and artist. As an artist I have released singles in the styles of Americana, Rock, and Alt Country. Some key accomplishments in my career include Artist of the Month for Pride Entertainment Magazine, performing for The Guitar Pull at the Cloverdale Playhouse, writing for SonFinch, a small tour to Texas as a singer/songwriter, guitarists for Twelfth Night for the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, live radio interviews/performances on 99.9 Auburn and WEGL 99.1, guitarist on a live jazz album for the University of North Alabama, guitarist for a live jazz show for Carnival Cruise Lines and several shows as a singer/songwriter throughout the southeast. I have also been blessed to have performed with many amazing musicians, writers and artists. I hope to continue building relationships and collaborating those in the music industry as well as connecting with fans.
Music is passion, commitment, fulfillment and a reason to get up every morning.
To create and sustain a living doing so. Everyday of song writing beats any job I can think of.
Be kind
First time I heard Me and Bobby Mcgee by Janis Joplin. I picked up her Essentials album on tape from a music store in the mall.
Too many to add. A few would be Janis Joplin, Carol King, Muddy Waters, Etta James, Brandi Carlisle. I like anything with amazing lyrics and/or a groove.
I just love it and I always have. I started playing when I was a small child and it feels natural to me.
I hope some of my songs might be one that helps you get through a rough day. I know I love a good song that speaks to me enough to want to listen to it again.
Energized
Just getting back into it, it seems like a one stop shop for most artists. So far streaming distribution collections seems to be a minimum amount for many artists and the market appears heavily saturated.
Just started today but so far it looks like a great service.
Getting my music up to quality, getting it heard and making a living doing so.
I do online. I stream concerts, join groups and try to participate.
I'm not sure, hopefully I'll let you know.
