I approach songwriting with a slow burning passion, thoughts and experience written down in word, melody, and chord progression. My inspiration comes from the incredible storytelling abilities of artists like John Hiatt, Rodney Crowell, Neil Finn, Chuck Prophet, and Ron Sexsmith. Their music has shaped my own artistic journey.
Growing up in Northern California, I had a unique connection to music from an early age. My father worked as a trash collector, and I would spend hours sifting through bags of discarded 45 records. It was like stumbling upon hidden treasures. Some were covered in dirt and grime, while others were in pristine condition. The anticipation of discovering new sounds was exhilarating, and I couldn't wait to drop the needle and immerse myself in the music.
I embarked on a pilgrimage to Texas with just two suitcases and $500 in my bank account. I wanted to immerse myself in the vibrant music scene and learn from fellow songwriters. Austin, known as the "Live Music Capital of the World," provided me with countless opportunities to grow as an artist. The open-mics and songwriters' nights became my training ground, and I soaked up every moment, listening to others share their stories through music.
These days I stay in Sonoma County, California, I work hard as a touring artist and singer-songwriter for my original rock band The Heartsleeves. I invite you to join me on this musical journey, as I share my songs one person at a time in this vast and unpredictable world we live in.
I am thrilled to announce the release of my latest album, "A.M. Sessions." It's a collection of songs that I am incredibly proud of, crafted with the help of old friends and some new collaborators. I would love to tell you more about it sometime. You can grab a copy at one of my shows or find it online.
