BIOGRAPHY
So here is a little bit about me. My mom introduced me to music as a child and immediately I was hooked. Piano
lessons were really interesting. When I learned chord theory I started to make my own music. I would also change
the rhythm to songs I already knew and would begin to improvise more and more. My mom then bought me a Yamaha PSR
and I literaly spent hours on that thing. My parents were always a big support even though they thought my
energies would be better spent elsewhere such as being a doctor, at least that's where the big bucks were. That
didn't stop me though, I would practice every day until my technique outgrew my theory. While in high school I
played in a band for First Baptist Church. That was a lot of fun, except I didn't do to much improv. It was
strictly by the book. I also started a band with my high school buddies and we called it The Plumbers. LOL I also
did two DJ gigs, but that seemed to be more trouble than it was worth because I had to take the samples out of the
songs and then load them into my keyboard and then mix it up. It sounds easy enough, but it wasn't, besides I
kind like writing my own thing. In college, I pursued a biology degree hoping to get into medical school. I
didn't get in, however. After that, I began playing music more consistently because, quite frankly, it was all I
had at the time. I joined another band after that. We had a lot of fun, but it didn't amount to anything serious
plus I was struggling financially. Never really thought about making money with music, just always loved to play
and write songs, but now it's turned to more than just a hobby. I tried the whole Napster thing, put my songs on
it, but nobody downloaded it. LOL Anyways, I kind of always written songs and will continue to do so. I hope it
gives you as much enjoyment to listen to it as it gives me to write it. Well, that's me in a nutshell. Hope that
helps.
