I started out on drums when I was around 13 years old. At age 21 in '96, I taught myself guitar. Since then I've been writing and recording my own songs non-stop. I went from writing, recording and performing heavy metal music in my younger days to doing the same with acoustic folk songs when I got a little older and a couple years ago, I got into keyboard-related music. For the last couple of years, I've been writing a lot of keyboard instrumentals, sometimes adding vocals over top, and find myself growing both musically and spiritually through them. I love the great outdoors and like camping in the woods, trips to the ocean, and boating on the Mississippi River. These experiences are reflected in a lot of my music.
Band/artist history
I have performed live in small settings as an acoustic folk singer / songwriter both as a solo artist and in a collaborative project known as "Images of the Soul." My collaborator and I are currently doing our own things. The feel of the material I was writing in Images of the Soul grew into positive, enlightening moods. I fell in love with writing soothing, ethreal songs and became drawn to New Age music. That developed into using keyboard sounds to compose instrumental music, sometimes adding vocals over top. I rarely perform this music live. My interest lies mostly in the process of creating it, sharing it through CD, and persuing getting it to both the tv / film industry and recording artists looking for songs. I am a member of the online Artist and Repertoire service, TAXI, and have had a few songs from Spirit of Feathers critiqued. One of them, "Guided By Rhythm", got forwarded to a music supervisor looking for music for a film. "Calming to listen to while I work." - Fans
