I have been a fan of music since I was a kid. I always had a natural attraction to intricate melodies and catchy lyrics. Some of the most notable musicians that have inspired me over the years are: Chris Carrabba, Andrew McMahon, Chris Martin, John Mayer, Paul Simon, Neil Young, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Jimi Hendrix.

I am a sales professional and currently reside in Arlington, TX. The majority of my time goes to my job and spending time with my wife/daughters/family/friends. With that being said, I am still very passionate about music. I am a self-taught musician, singer, and songwriter focused on creating music that bleeds over into various genres. 

I created this profile to share my music and connect with other singers/songwriters/musicians. Please feel free to "Like" or "Comment" on any of my music. I am always looking for feedback!

Easy listening,

THE CONTROL (being a gentle nod to singer Joe Brennan-Hulme’s appearance in a Joy Division feature) were formed in Stoke on Trent, 2008 on less than a whim. There are no ‘right’ ways to form a band but it could probably be said that thirty minutes from introduction, blagging your way on stage at a battle of the bands is wrong. They had no intention of winning of course, not even the intent to compete. Intent was only to begin, there and then.

Young and supple enough to go without sleep; John Burgess, Mike Davies, Richard David Bratt and Joe Brennan-Hulme began to obsess. Through the smoke filled room and can cluttered floor, something truly great had emerged...THE CONTROL.
