music
ABOUT ME: I love good music. I love good people. I love good food and great wine. I have lived through addiction and I am no longer over indulgent! I learned to love myself and now i love life, too! OK, I grew up very late in life. Must be a musician thang...I try to always see the glass half full. I think you create your own reality via your thoughts. I've always tried to do the right thing, make organic honest music, and be myself. I have not always succeeded, but I get better at this life thing everyday.I was born and raised in Atlanta by musician parents with whom I toured in the summers. I went to college with dreams of becoming a doctor. Then I got a record deal. All i've done for a living since then is play music. I was on the Grammy ballot recently. I ran the Paris marathon for Leukemia Society. I rode my bike with Team Earth Challenge from Atlanta to Yucca Mountain, NV in protest of the nuclear waste dumping there. Now I just try to recycle and make inspirational music. I live in Decatur, Alabama. It's a beautiful little town! I have 2 cats, an incredible wife, and an amazing life. And now I need some dark chocolate....
