Musician / Songwriter
Music was my first passion.
I wrote, performed, and recorded 50+ songs between 2003 and 2018. I got a Bachelor's degree in Audio Production / Engineering from MTSU. I recorded several local bands. I was in a few bands too, and we played live shows in our city.
I wish I had taken my singing skills further, but my songwriting, particularly with lyrics, is probably the thing I'm most proud of.
My Demos
This is a handful of my favorites, recorded 2009-2018. I mostly wrote blends of pop, rock, and punk. But there's a few outliers in there too.
Anti-Character
One day in early 2014, my younger brother and I recorded a grindcore album. I wrote some of the craziest music I could come up with. He wrote the lyrics and screamed all of them as loud as he could. It was a blast.
2005
For whatever reason, 2005 saw a lot of really good album releases, many of which are all-time favorites.
