I'm blessed to have been touched with some good lyrics. I'm working on the whole package now, trying to add melodies and such... My lyrics are God-inspired, because I mainly write very technical stuff for work and such, and these flow easier than anything I've ever written...Email me for the whole story on how this all got started just a few months ago, and has grown to over 100 lyrics...
Why this name?
It's the name I know best right now...
Do you play live?
I am helping with a nursing home ministry...we sing all types, from praise and worship to hymns. Someday, I hope to be able to incorporate music into a much larger picture of ministry and revival, as that is my passion.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I believe it makes certain services much more accessible, and for someone like me who just wants to reach folks with the message, a lot of the other concerns regarding the "sharing" of files vaporize...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
In a heartbeat, if available...the more exposure the world gets to the message of Jesus, the better...
Band History:
I've always liked to write, but didn't really start with lyrics until September 26 of 2003, when I wrote my first actual song. My friend Donnie began helping me around Christmas time, 2003, and we have had an absolute blast...hope to record much better quality stuff as we get equipment over the coming months...
Your influences?
Mitch McVicker, Kevin Galloway, Sonic Flood, just about all the current Christian bands, all styles, as well as all of the 80's big hair metal, good country music, hymns, old big band music - guess I just love all kinds of music...
Favorite spot?
Anywhere my wife and two little girls and my little boy are...
Equipment used:
Pen, paper, and guitars, keyboards, irish tin whistle and a lexicon omega... built a new pc recording system in the Fall of 2004...
Anything else...?
E-mail me if you like what you hear, or if you want to know anything about the messages behind the lyrics...
