A native born Southern Californian, I grew up around traditional country music being played by my Dads "Honky-Tonks" Bands. He was a Bass player & Lead singer/Frontman, my ear was drawn to the lyrics and hooks of those "Classic Country Songs". As early as the age 8, I was truly studying the Songwriters & Song structures and coming up with my own melodeys & lyrics as I learned to play my first chords on old Acoustic that just layed around the house. Now that was 30+ years ago, I've come a long way as a Singer/Songwriter. But I am still amazed by that moment magic when it all comes together.
