Tell us about yourself and your music
I was raised on music at home and at school, although I never studied it in my later years at school. My mother always told me that I could write so I now write lyrics for songs. How I got into Country Music was back in 1994 where I heard 3 songs; SOLD by John Michael Montgomery, THAT’S AS CLOSE AS I’LL GET TO LOVIN’ YOU by Aaron Tippin and MY MARIA by Brooks and Dunn. From then on, I was hooked.
