hey everybody!! I am a solo artist from hillsboro, Mo. I started playing guitar when I was about 12 years old. I was in a little junior high band as a guitarist, but I knew that I had a desire to sing, although I didn't have the guts to do it at the time. My freshman year, I wrote my first song, "There Again," and played it at the school talent show and won. Since then, I have written about 25 songs. Although I love to sing and play, my real joy comes from knowing that others enjoy my music. Being a perfectionist, I am never really happy with my own stuff, so encouragement from friends and family keeps me going. I just came out with my first self-titled cd, and have about 6 songs for a new one. In the future, I hope to continue to write music whether it goes anywhere or not.
