If you like Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Jason Mraz, Bruno Mars, The Beatles, Barenaked Ladies, Paul Simon, Sting, or even Elton John, you might like my music. It’s fun, melodious pop/rock with a whole lot of storytelling.

My musical journey took me from piano lessons to boy choir to baritone to musical theater to guitar to composing and to fronting bands – Fenderhead, Damn Sexy Man, The Bliss and more. Over the years I’ve written hundreds of songs, including tunes for a musical once. And, I’m a troubadour at heart. Simply put, I sing! As honestly and passionately as I can. That is my gift to the musical world along with my songs.

A lot of emotion, and sometimes pain, goes into making music. You put yourself out there and say, “This is what I feel. Do you understand me?” That’s scary. Any musician will tell you that. But, I’ve come to realize that this vulnerability is the very thing that makes music so important and so alive. The passion. The emotion. The specificity of experiences that are mine. Or, yours. We connect deeply through the language of music. It builds bridges between us.

As an artist, I build one half of the bridge. As the listener, you build the other half of that bridge… by hearing, understanding and even singing along. I will feel that; I will know you’re building the other side of that bridge.

I’m so glad you’re here. I hope you hear something that resonates with you. Let’s build bridges made of music. Subscribe. Share. More to come…
