Dean

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen. Comments are always welcome. Feel free to click on the picture of any track to learn more about it.


On the Verge of Completion
"Aeon Sanctum" has taken more time and required more spirit than any track I’ve ever worked on. This piece has been both a storm and a sanctuary, testing and healing me in equal measure.

Every moment has been shaped by silence and sound, forming a 6-minute journey so far. I am now sealing the final notes and adding the last crucial moments to complete this gateway of sound. I’m running low on energy and will continue tomorrow or Monday after I’ve recharged.

The final offering arrives next Friday at 6 PM.

✨ I came across this piece from Sinners again, and it reminded me of the power music has to heal and awaken something deeper in us.
Sharing it with you all because music is more than sound 》》》it’s medicine for the soul.

The Love of Music Above All:
For me, creating isn’t about chasing trends or playing it safe. It’s about honesty, about following that pull inside that refuses to be silenced. Every time I sit down to make music, I remind myself why I began: not for views, not for validation, but for the love of music itself.

True creation means being unafraid to be yourself, even when it breaks the patterns others hold onto. When you follow your gut and trust that spark you feel within, you align with something greater. That’s the energy I put into my music, and it’s the journey I invite you to walk with me.

A message of Hope & Harmony:
In a world that feels increasingly divided, I’ve come to understand that even the most confident artists have their moments of doubt. Fear urges us to separate, to protect what we make. But music, to me, has always been about connection, about souls meeting in sound. There is an extraordinary power in voices joining together, shaping something greater than any of us could alone. Ultimately, it is not about who stands apart, but about the creations we make when we stand together.

Awareness is the first step to freedom

Let's talk about fear. Hermetic philosophy has a killer concept called 'Polarity.' It means that fear and courage aren't opposites-->they're just different frequencies of the same energy.

Think about that. Your fear isn't there to stop you; it is raw, unfocused potential for your courage. The struggle is not a detour; it is the forge where you are being built.

The point is not to never be scared. The point is to use that energy, to shift its vibration, and to keep moving forward. The journey is the destination. Every challenge is a chance to evolve. Now go transmute that fear into fuel. I believe in you.

My music is born from struggle, discovery, and transformation. It has been my torch through the darkest nights, guiding me toward light when all seemed lost. Every note carries a piece of my journey: pain, resilience, and the spark of hope that refused to die.

Music saved me, and through it I found a way to connect with others in moments where words were not enough. These compositions are more than sounds, they are vessels of emotion, meant to reach the hidden places of the soul and remind the lost that light still waits beyond the shadows.

If my work can touch even one heart, lifting it from despair into wonder, then it fulfills its purpose.
