I've been a musician since 9 years old when I started playing drums in our local church. My step-father was a piano tuner-technician so there were always pianos in our house. One day he ran out of room and had no other choice but to put one in my bedroom. I couldn't just let it sit there without being used... The rest is history. Now I love playing piano, drums, and writing tunes.
I'm getting into recording stuff now and would love to go pro someday! Come along for the ride!

Why this name?
It's my given name.
Do you play live?
I do play live when I can. I play occasionally for worship services and events as needed. I enjoy playing live more than playing in a recording studio because it feels more like jam time rather than striving for perfection. Live is all about having fun. There's nothing like feeling tight with the crew and knowing you played well together.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
MP3s make it possible to listen to music from all over the world in seconds. Musicians hear more, share more, store more, and make more... The music industry will never be the same. The cool part about it is that because sharing and storing is so easy now, the music that is produced is better and more fresh because musicians have more to draw from.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes. Of course.
Your influences?
Everything.
Favorite spot?
Wherever you are. :)

Anything else...?
Music... It's my life.
