I am a lead singer/rhythm guitarist with a background in drumset, hand drums and other persussion. I have started incorporating foot shakers, a stomp box, and a cajon into my performance while I am playing guitar and singing in order to give the one man band a fuller sound. I gig weekly at 3 restaurant chains throughout the Salt Lake Valley. My focus has been purely on creating unique renditions of popular songs consisting of mostly 90's and newer music, sprinkled with a few of the classics. I currently gig 5 times per week on average and have picked up some side gigs with private and corporate parties, fundraisers, and weddings. I am currently looking to expand the project to include a second guitarist, preferably specializing as a lead guitarist, an acoustic or upright bass, and percussionist to enhance the acoustic rock/pop sound of the music. The plan is to continue focusng on covers and begin venturing into creating original music as well. This is my only source of income currently and I love getting paid to do something I love. I take this business very seriously, am dedicated and hard-working and have every intention of music being a lifelong passion and career. Any new members must share a similar vision so that we can that we can work together, grow together and create something amazing. I've been successful this far and have been a steady working musician for the past two years and am looking to add serious members that will help elevate this project to the next level.

Influences
I am influenced by many artists, but tend to lean towards strong solo musicians and singer/song writersi also have interest in musicians who started out busking and turned it intoa powerful career. There are too many talented people to list, but a few that I like are Ed Sheeran, Jason Mraz, Andy Grammer, Gavin DeGraw, and recently I've been enjoying Post Modern Jukebox and American Idol winner Casy Abrams.
