About.
I am a singer/songwriter solo acoustic folk/rock artist. Lately i have had a tremendous amount of inspiration. Songs begin to flow out of me. I work at a concrete plant by day. When i get home after work, after making dinner, i head to the basement. Songs begin to flow out of me thru my guitar. I can somehow connect to something "greater than myself". I harness that energy and transform it into songs.
I grew up in Long Island, New York. Ever since I was a kid I have always loved music. I would hold up my cassette recorder to the f.m. radio, and record my favorite songs. I played in a band in high school called "Mixed drinks". Many years passed, and one day i was sitting up in my bedroom, realizing just how lucky i am. I am happily married, 2 amazing, bright, healthy kids, 2 good jobs. Suddenly inspiration struck and my first original song began to take shape. It is called "Help me to see". Meaning help me to see what i have before me, and not take it for granted!
Dig deep within your soul, and search your heart. Like an ember of burning coal, this is where our journey starts. Come and join me on a musical journey. Allow me to dig deep within my soul, and then put it out there for the world to see. We can change the music industry, one note at a time. Just let it flow. Be yourself! don't worry about fitting in or having an "image" just play good soulful music! It's ok to be different! It's ok to be unique!
