1. When did your musical career start and when did you decide to become a singer?

My musical career began the day I was born. I'm told I sang before I could talk. I don't remember a day in my life that I didn't know what I needed to do. Sing. I was born with a gift and I think it's meant to be used to help people, be there for them. I hope to write songs that will touch people's lives. Songs that people can listen to, bring joy, cry, and live to.


2. Who have been your main influence musically and where do you get your ideas for the lyrics, are they taken out of everyday and personal experience?

My main influences through the years have been, Jonny Lang, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Pat Benitar, Melissa Etheridge, Tonic, Candlebox, the list could go on and on! When writing lyrics my main inspirations come from personal experiences.


3. The you have just release a new album recently. How has it done sell wise and and are you happy with the overall album or are there things you would have liked to have done different?

"Can't Control -- Live" is doing very well. We recorded it live at a house called The Dump. I think it's doing well because there is a certain energy that is captured in a live recording that is different from studio work.


4. Has there been any interest from any record labels in you from Japan and Europe?

Not yet, but that's only because we haven't ventured out to them.





5. Could the you tell us a little about the tracks featuring on the new album, and what's your personal favorite track to play live?

My personal favorite track would have to be Can't Control. It's great to play and it's all me!


6. What's your  personal point of view on today's music industry and the general music scene as it's seen on MTV and heard on the mainstream radio stations?

As we all know, the music industry isn't the same as it used to be. Partly because it's not making as much money, illegal downloads and what not, but more than anything I think it has to do with a lack of good music, real music.


7. Hows the local area where you come from when it comes to getting gigs to play and get played on the local radio stations?

Luckily I come from Madison, Wisconsin which is very open to new artists and music. Finding gigs and radio play was no problem. If you're good.


8. What's been your best moments in the music business up and so far do you yourself feel it's been a struggle to get you are now?

I think some of the best moments have been finding out that making a career in music isn't nearly as hard as everyone had me ready to believe. As long as you believe in yourself and in what you're doing then a bit of focus and discipline will do the rest!


9. What does the future hold for you at this moment in time, any plans of touring in the progress and what about new material?

At this point and time I am busy working on new material, and possible tour dates with the band Candlebox over the Summer.


10. Any last words to the fans/people out there here in the end?

I hope my music will touch your lives!

Thank you so much for your love and support! I'm here for you!
