About Me

Posted by swordsofe - August 15th, 2011


I am from McLean TX, where I currently reside. I moved there from Amarillo TX several years ago and I attended school in McLean entering 6th grade and graduated from McLean high school in 2002. My experience with music began when I was in Horse Mann middle school back in 1995. Where I played in band. My instrument was the baritone a low-key brass instrument. After moving to McLean, I was kind of sad. The school there had no band, only choir. When I turned sixteen I received my first guitar. My mom worked overtime and then some to buy it, seeing that I had some kind of gift for music. And from there it takes off. I wore that guitar out learning how to play it. I'm self-taught; I had to learn from books, as my mom couldn't afford to pay for music lesions. I have played in bands performing rock music in the area that I live in; I am quite versed in different styles of music including Rock, Classical, Blues, Pop, Alternative, Punk, Metal and Techno. I can play just about anything stemming from the fact that I learn by ear. Allowing me to also learn bass, piano, and drums.
That's not all I am an artist in my spare time. Some of my hobbies are, marshal arts, and I build pin and paper RPG games for my friends, and of coarse gaming. April 19, 2008 I preformed with a band in Pampa TX the first time I ever played in that town before. At that time I was going a phase in my life where I had reached a crossroads and was trying to figure out what I want to do in life. I had a lot of doubts about the show at that time my family was the only people that had herd me play so I didn't know what was going to happen But when I started playing a song I wrote called in the style of a bard. People started chanting my name something that has never happened before in my life. I thought that I would be booed off the stage. To my surprise my band was a hit. I have had little luck with every job I have had. But that day I discovered that I have a gift and I should share it with everyone and not keep it to myself. The name of my band is Everyman. Why? Because I've been thru some very hard times in my life. I've been hurt and beaten down and put down my whole life and thru it all I have persevered and overcome. I want to shear my story with everyone so that you will know. That when life has beaten you down. You can overcome and defeat hopelessness and depression, Cause I have been there. Faith, Hope, Love, Courage. Always keep your head up and ignore the haters there just jealous of you anyway.
