The Beginning
Growing up just outside the city of Seattle, I didn’t know that I wanted to play music. Back then my days were full of breaking windows, riding bikes, and navigating the world around me.
I have memories of my father playing piano in the living room and of him playing cassette tapes of motown in our small mobile home.
This was my first relationship with music.
The Middle
When my father left, my mother moved my siblings and I to the city of Seattle. There I met a handful of odd musicians; some playing at the church and some who played casually.
Inspired by these few I decided to learn to play the drums.
Not long after I began learning, I broke my ankle and had to stop. That’s when I grabbed a guitar and started learning out of a book of chords.
Where We Are Now
Since then the guitar has been my main form of expression. Songwriting came quickly along with learning to play and over time I’ve enjoyed playing in churches, as a missionary in Mexico, and most recently as a gigging musician here in the city.
What’s Next
The plan is to keep playing music in the city; making fans and friends and move toward playing music full time as a career.
