Tell us about yourself and your music
I am a free-spirited, full of life singer/songwriter. My music is very unique in composition with, time signature variations and earthy Native American tones and drum sounds. The vocals are followed with harmonies and a 60’s style guitar picking style. The songs are written, try to send out a positive message and an awareness of current issues today.
