From serving zucchinis to actors like Woody Harrelson at a vegan restaurant in Santa Monica, to driving Uber and picking up Vance Joy after his soundcheck at the shrine (thanks for the free tickets!),  to digging swimming pools working construction, to running the self tape studio for actors auditions at Argentum, to driving bands around LA like Temper Trap & Chvrches when they’d come to town, I’ve worked every starving artist job under the sun.  

​​

That’s where the music comes in.  With all the down time in between jobs and the uncertainty of it all, music has always been my main creative outlet.  An inspiring space where I could pick up my guitar and express myself freely without waiting for anyones opinion or approval. Behind a red door off Redondo street in the Mid Town Miracle heart of planet Los Angeles is where I started crafting my catalogue of songs & where I got my name. 

​

The title track off my debut album "Stories To Tell" is a song I wrote right when I was about to turn 30 years old.  I thought by the time I hit 30 I’d have it all figured out. And…..well…. life doesn’t always work out the way you plan it.  The song came about as I reflected on the idea that no matter what happens in life at least I’ll have some stories to tell.  It’s about chasing a dream.  It’s about searching for something. It’s about coming home.  It’s about wanting to make your parents proud.  It’s about going for broke and coming up short.  It’s about the journey rather than the destination.  

 

If you get a wild idea, if you have a burning desire, go after it! Chase it! Life is short and tomorrow’s not promised.
