Why this name?
My parents gave it to me - but actually when I don't perform solo I do have a band named "Human Race" it was voted on by my fan-base and selected out of hundreds of entries. We liked it because it encompassed what my music was about.
Do you play live?
I tour a lot around the country and when I'm home I play a lot all over the State of Florida, a lot in in South Florida and the Keys. I am planning another tour in the late summer 09
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it levels the playing field somewhat concerning, labels, radio and the public.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
just was offered another one, my soul is worth more than a record deal, but I'm open if the right one appears.
Band History:
I'm a songwriter by trade, been writing professionally since I was 15, so I have an extensive background in music, especially Country and Christian music. Started playing out regularly in 2001, wouldn't do anything else!
Your influences?
I have a alot of influences mostly singer/songwriters like, Tracy Chapman, John Melloncamp, Melissa Etheridge, James Taylor, Linda Hargrove, Dolly Parton, Jimmy Buffett, John Denver, .. I could go on and on!
Favorite spot?
obviously Florida!
Equipment used:
Exclusively Ovation Guitars and the Bose Personal Amplication System... both are sweet!
