Listen, I have a bio and press materials and all that but between me and you I’m just a man trying to figure out his purpose in life.  I have these ups and downs that I’m dealing with on a regular.  I have these incredible people who always show me love and give me hope.  I have the gift of life so I have opportunity after opportunity to pursue change and happiness.  All is well.  I use this blog as a diary and an outlet to the world.  At times I’m sure to say something offensive and way out there.  Other times, my emotional cap is on.  But the goal is to be me.  It definitely won’t work for everybody but EVERYBODY is not who I’m looking to please.

My music is a big part of my expression.  I am an artist.  I am a huge fan of instruments.  Piano and guitar are my main instruments for writing but I think the cello is at the top of my list of favorite instruments.  Hear that ladies?  Take cello lessons.  I’m currently in Los Angeles, California (USA) and  trying to escape.  Hahaaa.  My latest CD project is called ‘More Than Words’.  It captures me at a time when I was dealing with a relationship.  The story of my life.  Me and the lady friend were either at each other’s throats or cuddled up on the couch watching movies.  And for a while that was obviously what I wanted.  Today we’re not together and you can listen for the stories in my music.  You’ll also hear bits a pieces of me as I try to figure out ‘Life’.

These days I’m looking for creative ways to get my music to you.  Live shows and online exposure – listen out for me.  I really feel like I need to do this for myself, the people that have dedicated their free time, money, love and endless support, and  this goes out to the universe.  If you’re able to read this you have a heart and it’s working.  You feel, I feel, we all feel.  Thanks so much for stopping by and come back soon ya hear!

Trust In Her

This video is still under way.  I keep changing the artistic visual.  What’s my problem?

Happy

Happy is the name of a video project I’m working on.  This project is dedicated to Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover.  He committed suicide at 11 yrs. old.  A very sad story and personal to me.  This kid lived in my hometown, Springfield, MA, and attended an after school program, Dubois Academy, that I was once an assistant teacher at.  I’m sure you’ve heard the tragic story by now but I’m still working on my piece.  Stay tuned.  Carl, rest in peace.
