I am a singer/songwriter from Mishawaka, Indiana and hope to one day be a successful recording artist. I write and play mostly pop/rock with some jazz and electronic influences. My main instrument is my piano and keyboards with some live percussion thrown in for seasoning.
My music has been a labor of love and I hope you will enjoy hearing it as much as I have in creating it.
Why this name?
It was chosen for me by my Father when I was born. I was named after my Great-Great Grandfather.
Do you play live?
I don't play live regularly as a solo act, but on occasion I have accompanied some friends of mine who play in local clubs.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It literally has brought people closer together. I feel that it has eliminated the need for many 'middle-men' and has made it possible for the artists to connect directly with the consumer and the general public.
Would you still sign a record contract with a major label?
Absolutely! Just as long as both sides can come to a reasonable agreement where the music, production, and promotion is concerned.

I have worked with several local acts in the South Bend/ Michiana area:
(1996) I performed several of my songs at a Democratic fundraiser for my cousin who ran for office (and won) for the treasurer of Marshall County, Indiana.
(1997) Andrew Witchger/Gerard McDonald: we collaborated on several demos for Andrew.
(1998) Billy "Sticks" Nicks (drummer for Junior Walker & The All Star Band): I produced and revamped 3 songs for him by request.
(1998) Ebony Records/ Forever Gypsy: I did some session work for them.
(1998) My song "Purple Groove" was included on the internet only, fan-release CD "The Prince Inspiration Compilation". It had a limited run of about 500 copies.
