Music – Los Angeles

I fell in love with music at a very young age because Mom had all these old LPs. Moving around as much as we did, we were like gypsies, but music was always the constant. No matter how any times I had to make new friends, and discover new things, music was like a sibling. The brother I never had. My "brother" started influencing me more and more. My dress, my attitude, my swagger, my spirit. When I picked the guitar up a few years ago, all these things came out of me that I wanted to express, but didn't know how. I know that might sound cliche, but its f****n true. I found great peace of mind through creating my own music; molding my "brother" into what I wanted him to be, and what I wanted to be for him. Unabashedly real. Since then, the people I meet or jam with, help me mold my "brother." With the music they introduce me to, to there own "family" that is music. That influences me greatly. It's as if my "brother" meets there "sister" and something magical happens. Something real; an extension of themselves. I hope I can always have these relationships of music and experience, and how real they can make me feel. I'll never let my "brother" down, and I think he's knows that. Because he gives me so much, I am forever grateful. For him, for his light, for everything he brings to me and to others, and to everyone's family that is music. I am forever grateful...
