MOTIVATIONAL SINGER/SONGWRITER
Hello to my audience! I'm so grateful for you. I really hope you enjoy this music and I'm working hard to keep making more. I'm ready to take my music to a new level and am starting to shop myself to record labels who I hope can help me become all I'm destined to be. I pray with all my heart that a record company with good connections to radio, great producers and touring will give me the opportunity to prove myself, both in the studio, on stage and in songwriting. That is my dream. I don't care about money, just the chance to make great music , build an audience and forge friendships with great people who are serious about music. My main genres are Folk/Folk Rock, Country Rock/Blues and Christian Rock. Thank you for checking me out!!

Story behind the song
One morning I was driving to campus with my friend when we noticed the flag at half mast. When I asked him about it he told me what happened and I wrote this song about it.
Lyrics
The flag was held at half-mast today While the sun was going down It fluttered with life and danced in the air In the spirit of the girl who was gone In a place that I've been so many times Where danger never seemed to show it's face In the middle of broad daylight An innocent life was laid to waste She was someone I didn't know But anyone should feel Cause I know that she had friends like I Who have suffered cuts that may never heal Chorus: You are the symbol, the fallen grace The nameless tragedy of time and space And like so many that died like you Whose infinite breath will never cease Your spirit will live on in peace Verse: I don't know much about the whole incident But it struck me like a nail And I hope to God that I never hear of this again But what scares me is that I will The flag was flown at full mast today While the sun was on the rise But I don't need no flag to remember The flame that kindles in her eyes Chorus
