So it all started for me quite unexpectedly. Growing up in a large family in rural King George, Virginia, I realized at a young age that music was the one thing that gave me true peace and happiness. I can remember having one of the first generation “walk-man” radios and singing loudly to the latest hits on the radio. From KISS to Parliament Funkadelic to the Jacksons. Whatever came across the airwaves at the time, I was off somewhere by myself singing it. It became an early passion, this singing thing. I eventually gathered the courage to sign up for a talent show at my school. I can remember not telling anyone I had signed up for the show until I walked onto the stage. I walked away the winner that day and the seed was planted. Music was my motivation from that point forward. That motivation got me a music scholarship at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. I was soon approached to be the lead singer of an upstart band called Boy O Boy (BOB). We quickly gained a following, and toured the East Coast playing many clubs and colleges along the way. We changed our name to Fighting Gravity some years later, and found ourselves signed to several major labels. We toured much of the continental US and around the globe on several USO tours that took us to places such as Japan, Puerto Rico, Honduras, and Singapore. It was an amazing and exciting ride, and what I most appreciated was the many positive friends that those travels brought into my life. Many of whom are still a part of my life today. As Fighting Gravity came to an end, I stepped away from the music industry for three years in order to find a different inspiration. However, I found myself drawn repeatedly back to the fire. The desire to get back on stage again was overwhelming. This desire led me to begin work on a life-long dream. With the help of co-writer and producer Chip Johnson, this dream will come to realization with the Fall 2010 release of my solo CD titled My Only Secret. This music is personal. It is a reflection of where I have arrived in life. It is about realizing the better side of life and those you choose to share it with. It is my hope that you will be able to draw the same inspiration from listening to the music as I have had in writing it.
