"As a singer-songwriter, I pour my heart into crafting my own music, with a special passion for country gospel. When I'm not singing, I'm writing - and I'm proud to have authored several books that share our family's journey. You can find my books on my social media pages. As a single father of five amazing sons, our story is one of love, resilience, and faith. Through my songs and books, I share our experiences, hoping to inspire and uplift others along the way."
All songs are written by LarryBand/artist history
"Growing up as a preacher's kid, I was surrounded by music and ministry from a young age. I began singing in church as a child and started playing piano at just seven years old. Our family's travels across the USA exposed me to diverse musical experiences, and I assumed that singing original songs was a normal part of Christian expression. It wasn't until I grew older that I realized not everyone writes their own music. Through the years, I've had the opportunity to sing at local gatherings and various churches, which has helped me become comfortable on stage and confident in sharing my musical talents with others."Have you performed in front of an audience?"Singing has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I've always felt comfortable expressing myself through music in front of others. However, public speaking is a different story - despite the nerves, I find it incredibly fulfilling. While I still get anxious, I've come to realize that the sense of accomplishment and connection with others makes it well worth pushing past my comfort zone. Two experiences stand out as particularly memorable: singing at a renowned songwriters' venue in Nashville, where I felt the energy of the city's vibrant music scene, and serving as a worship leader at my home church, where I could share my passion for music with my community and lead others in meaningful moments of connection and praise."
Your musical influences
"My musical influences are diverse, but a few legendary artists stand out as particularly inspiring. I grew up admiring the talents of Dottie Rambo, The Hinsons, The Happy Goodmans, and later, the Crabb Family - their music left an indelible mark on my heart. In the secular world, I was captivated by the incredible voices of Barbara Mandrell and Vince Gill, whose artistry has been a constant source of inspiration. Although I never had the chance to meet these musical heroes, their contributions to gospel and country music continue to shape my own unique sound."What equipment do you use?
Keyboard and guitar & computerAnything else?
"Writing is my true passion, and I have a deep appreciation for artists who pour their heart and soul into crafting their own music. But I also have a soft spot for talented performers who, even if they didn't write the songs themselves, bring such conviction and emotion to their delivery that it feels like it's coming straight from their own heart."
