Artist statement
Dec 2014 - nowArtist statementEvery musically related opportunity I have been fortunate enough to be a part of has also given me a feeling a accomplishment, worth, and inner unity. No other endeavor has given me that. I believe that if you love what you do for a living, you will never work a day in your life. Making a full time career in the music industry while being able to provide for my family is my ultimate life goalWhat drives me are personal experiences and my families well being. Each song I write encompasses my reality. I find it most meaningful when I can relate first hand with the song I am singing. The way I choose my rhythms is simple. I write was feels right. It has to have a natural flow. My method for coming up with melodies and rhythms goes something like this: I play the song I working with on repeat and just listen, over and over and over again. Each time the song plays, I listen to what it's telling me. I listen to what feels naturally to me. I can actually hear the melodies and rhythms being sung back to me. Everything else that comes my way in the form of musical opportunity I engulf myself in. From organizing an event to designing album artwork I lock myself up in a room and commit all my focus to it. I think of other successful projects and apply what I've learned from them into my task. At the end of the project I have not only learned something, I have used something old to create something new. Show less
