ABOUT

I have been singing since I was 7 in front of people, and my voice has changed over the years from a high tenor to a low bass and baritone. I am really into country since that was what I was raised on in West Texas, and I am a 5th generation Texan. My dad was a professional Christian musician in the 70's and 80's. I guess you can say performing is in my blood.
