Singer/Songwriter from San Antonio, TexasBand/artist history
I have been singing since I was about the age of five and it was always a dream of mine to one day be a musician. As a child my musical influences varied from all genres. Musicians like Annie Lennox, Pink, Johnny Cash, and Marilyn Manson kind of give you the rainbow coalition that is my musical influences. I began singing in school choirs, in which I competed and placed in local, regional, and state choir competitions. Now, I am currently trying to further his pursuit of a career in music by attending the University of Texas San Antonio. My sound has a strong pop/rock influence with vocals and songwriting that come directly from the soul. Recently, I recorded a demo in Nashville, Tennessee with renowned producer, William Smith, who has worked with American Idol winner Taylor Hicks and other successful musicians as well. Currently, my song "Keep On Having My Fun" has been added to NEW!, which is a website sponsored by Clear Channel Radio that exposes music to more than 10 million people per month on nearly 500 radio station web sites across the country. My song has already received over 2,000 plays within just a two week period and keeps climbing up the independent charts. I aspire to be an artist who thinks outside the box and writes songs that are true to who I am and how I feel. I firmly believe that true artists are those that are true to themselves and live for the passion of music.I am driven, motivated, and hard-working all while keeping two feet firmly planted on the ground.Have you performed in front of an audience?I love playing live! Its one of the main reasons why I do what I do.
