Just like anyone else on this planet, I've had a fair amount of struggles that have changed my view on various things throughout my years.

When I was in high school, my friends and I formed a band called Sentenced To Life. Our goal with that band was to make great music that could potentially get us to a "famous spot" in life. As we got older, we separated; however, that did not stop me from pursuing my musical endeavors along with working full-time jobs and going to school.

Because of my passion for music, I decided to start a solo acoustic project. Ever since I started my project, I've had more ideas for songs than I did with the band I was part of. Initially, I was fearful to go solo because I was never the one to engage the audience and lead everything; however, it was both fear and courage to get my music off the ground that got me to move out of my comfort zone and begin doing shows by myself.

To be completely honest, it's been an interesting journey so far because of the fact that many individuals expect me to play/sing one specific genre; to their amazement, I don't do that genre on purpose (reggae) because that's what is expected.

I perform contemporary rock, hard rock, a little blues, and various covers that most people would not expect to hear from me. Why? Because THAT'S what grabs everyone's attention, the fact that I go so far out of my comfort zone and do songs in certain genres that aren't typically performed by most live performers.

Furthermore, that's why I continue to strive for what I want and play/sing what I do. The more you stand out, the more people are going to talk about you, whether good or bad. In life, it's not what you say but what you answer to that defines you. So, you tell me: is it fear or courage that compels you to do what you do?
