As a songwriter and guitarist, music is my way of life. I can write whatever is on my mind, fix it a little, make it rhyme (only sometimes) and then throw a chord progression with it. Songs that are written by the heart are usually the ones that people want to hear. For instance, I wrote a song the other day called Embers in which I intend to finish. I want to finish it because I wrote it at 4 in the morning while chatting with a very good friend of mine (she has a blog, look up Escape This Reality by Claire). But besides the point, the conversation we had sparked ideas in my head and I wrote them down. I finished the lyrics only recently and I sent them to her. She loved them, and that's when I decided to hold on to the lyrics and start to write a melody around them. The support from my friends is what fuels me for my songwriting and without them I think I would just be another kid playing guitar on his own. So this for you: Mike, Claire, Zoe, Emma, Leanne, Caellum, and Tiernan. I love you guys and without you I wouldn't be the person I am today without you 7 amazing people. Thank you so much for coming into my life and helping me become what I never thought I could be.

Music, My Life, My Soul, My Everything
My life revolves around music. Ever since I was given my first guitar at the age of 9, it has been my life. Music gets me out of a lot of things. When I'm having a terrible day, music is there to take my troubles away. Whether it's Jack Johnson singing about how delighted to be with his love in Hawaii; or if it's John Mayer singin' the blues. I always have music on my side.
