Usually, I'm sort of a one-man act, however, I perform well with others too. To get a feel for my style, you'll just have to hear it.

Like many artists, It's difficult to attach a specific genre to my music. The closest I can estimate is "Adult Contemporary." At present, my music is studio recording, but I have performed live as well.

Story behind the song

Wanting a more "manly" feel to a hymn dedicated to encouraging male priesthood members, this is a more 'rockin' arrangement of Hymn#320 in the LDS (Mormon) hymnbook

Lyrics

Brethren, pow'r by earthly standards
Comes by rank or wealth or sword;
But the pow'r above all others
Is the priesthood of our Lord.

It is ours, the total armor
Priesthood held by Christ, our Lord
If, as brethren, we are worthy
Of the Spirit's whispered word.

Let us venture forth in freedom
With the priesthood as our guide
Deacons, teachers, priests, and elders,
Seeking virtue side by side.
