I make noise. I am noisy.
I aim for all of my art to be a truthful expression of my worldview, which is based in the belief that we are all united by one Creator who determined I would be a noisy creation and has made a way for us to all live purposeful lives of love and service. As a musician, I understand the power of noise and sound. I find it easy to collaborate and communicate with others through this medium and am deeply grateful for the ability to freely create and serve in this way.
My work never starts with a musical idea, but is rather inspired by a message or situation, most often by the duality within. I find inspiration in the trials and tribulations of my story and the stories of my fellow human beings. I am compelled to absorb the ups, downs, rights, and wrongs of life and living. From there I am able to turn the rhythm and pulse of that inspiration into a noisy, imposing story that equally expresses pain and pleasure. I hope to always carry deep respect for every story, history, and culture. I hope to continue to find new ways within music and all art to connect with my fellow human beings and to communicate the stories often and rarely told.
