<p>I'm a singer/songwriter who has spent my entire life chasing the muse. I started plunking around on an old upright piano as a toddler and was hooked from there. I learned music in school bands and church choirs, by listening to my older siblings' records and by jamming with local musicians over the years.<br /><br />I've performed in various bands and solo for over half my life. I spent several years giggin' out with 'Hot Cargo' in the mid-'90s and then again in '06 - '08. More recently, I played with local pop-cover band '4 Now' and retro-rock original band 'Drift'. I even rocked the early '90s with a Dayton garage band called 'Therica'. I also currently focused on performing solo acoustic and developing my original music through Independent label Alpha Dawg Records, where I'll be releasing my first professionally produced CD in 2012.</p><p>In addition to performing music, I've really developed a deep love of the independent music scene and promoting all the wonderful music not enough people are hearing! I co-host a monthly independent online radio show through Reputation Media. I also do a lot of work with local musicians and bands to promote and support the arts in my hometown.<br /><br />Basically, I'm just a free spirit inhabiting this energy field for the duration of my assignment. I find myself on a continuing quest to define my purpose, follow its path and remain true to the intuition that guides me...but, way down deep inside...I JUST WANNA ROCK!</p>
