Biography

Music has been my life ever since I remember. My dad gave me a harmonica when I was eight and showed me how to single out notes and play some blues. When I was 12 I started playing guitar and dove in head first to music. I worshiped Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin and played literally all day. This continued throughout middle school and high school, where I also started making beats and then rapping.

Music has been my life ever since I remember. My dad gave me a harmonica when I was eight and showed me how to single out notes and play some blues. When I was 12 I started playing guitar and dove in head first to music. I worshiped Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin and played literally all day. This continued throughout middle school and high school, where I also started making beats and then rapping. As time passed I had to get a job and "grow up", but I continued to gig, record and improve my musicianship. I worked at restaurants, gas stations, juice bars, coffee houses, in construction and landscaping. So after being paid for being mediocre at menial tasks for about 7 years, I've decided to devote myself full-time to music as a love and a career.   Since around April of this year I have been constantly writing and recording new material as well as trying to get my feet wet in the "business" side of music. Many of the tracks I've been working on will be available on a hip hop album titled City Of The Trees, due out later this summer. This album will be entirely self produced, with the exception of a couple friends on a few songs. In addition, I have several albums of older songs, both hip hop and blues, available for free download in the Albums section. I am currently working to secure a manager/agent to help take my career to the next level.  All this being said, my number one priority is to reach people with my music. At the point I'm at now in my life it is far more important to make the best music I can and try to get as many people to listen as I can than to be business minded, seeing as I suck at that anyway. I guess my game plan goes something like this: People like good music, make a lot of good music, good things will happen.
