With a few words, from the beginning

​

Growing up in a small Tennessee town, I was exposed to country and gospel music from the beginning. The

influence of country artists from Nashville and local

gospel quartets provided a solid foundation and love

of melodies and harmonies. Then came the British in-

vasion. Even with this love of 60's and 70's rock; coun-

try, gospel and folk still held a place with me. Working

at the local radio station during my school years just

added to that musical longing; and, two years in beauti-

ful Paducah, Kentucky gave me the chance to further

develop my desires to be an artist. My career took me

to Austin, Texas. A rich, musically centered area. The standards are high there. Without full-time devotion,

the music industry is a very difficult market to move

into. However, there were some opportunities to per-

form in front of a crowd. My first composition is based

on an event that happened in Austin during those years.

A song called "Highway Cat." A move to Asia in the late

90's, to continue my career's work, gave me the chance

to perform with outstanding Thai musicians, and to do

some recording at a few local studios. From this, I have applied myself to a more creative approach in music composition. The song "From Today" has had several reviews and mentioned in the Great American Song Con-

test. Hopefully, this song will find a home and will open

a door for more to come.
