| Introduction | I'm an independent singer/songwriter who was born in Everett, Washington to a family of musicians. My mother was a vocalist and my father was a trumpet player. After playing trumpet in the local school bands, I attended the University of Washington where I performed with the marching and concert bands and had instruction in music history and theory. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree I went into the custom jewelry design business while playing trumpet in various bands. I first began to study singing in 2006 and released my first recording, "For Me And My Gal," in 2011. Although I like to write my own songs, I take a special joy in rediscovering forgotten musical gems from the nineteenth through early twentieth centuries and recording them in the historical tuning systems of their eras. I currently have over forty recordings that are available for download or streaming from most major music retailers worldwide. On a final note, I sing for YOU! Without you there would be no point to my musical efforts, It is my wish that, through the vocal recordings I create, I may make this world a better and more beautiful place for all of us. Blessings and good wishes to everyone! |
