I was born in Birmingham in 1971 on the same day that celebrates the birth of the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln. Born to a Baptist church music director father and a high school Spanish teacher mother, they gave me the gift of music and are responsible for anything positive I accomplish in this life.

Some time in high school my mind was kicked open by the music of Bob Dylan. It was through him that I became aware of the power of song. Since that moment my mind has been saturated with music and songwriting. It is something I must do regardless of financial security or insecurity.

Other than Dylan the greatest inspiration in my music has been the life and example of Martin Luther King, Jr. I know...he's not a musician. But, he was as artistic as any musician ever born. His speaking voice was as moving and musically vigorous and emotionally stimulating as anything by anyone from Mozart to Miles Davis, from Shakespeare to Paul Simon, from the Old Testament prophets to the bluesmen and women of the Mississippi Delta.

The seeds of every song I write were sown from all of these sources and I owe it to them and to myself to never give up on the greatest talent I possess. My influences have given me a voice. And I will do all I can to let my voice be heard. I hope you will listen.


New album coming in April 2022! About 30 songs are on hold right not for TV/Film.
