Join Me As I Take You Behind The Music!
Every week I take my listeners behind the music. I show the creative process behind my songs – where the ideas come from and how I create my tunes. I show my struggles and victories as a freelance musician as well.
This is a very personal experience in which I bare my soul as an artist. I show not only what has worked for me but some of the big mistakes feel I’ve made in my music career and what it’s like to try make a living as an independent musician.

Star Wars Freak
“Those men are more in need of a girlfriend than any man in history.’ 
Heard a DJ say this as a reaction to seeing grown men standing in line in their Star Wars costumes waiting to see the new movie quite a few years ago. Thought that was really funny and it inspired this song. And in case you are offended or worried I hurt people’s feelings, I was a huge Star Wars Freak! Available on all major streaming platforms.
A quirky, catchy song about a geeky teenager who never can quite get the girl, and is clueless why. 😀
Influences: The Spin Doctors, Fountains Of Wayne
