"Don''t IMpress, EXpress."
While I studied voice at Indiana University I learned an important spiritual lesson that has stuck with me. Learning to sing was often a frustrating struggle, many many times I felt I would never figure it out. I was praying regularly about this. Not asking God to give me a great voice, but just striving to understand His purpose for me and to be guided on the path that was best for my spiritual growth.
Eventually it became clear that that I was too focused on trying to produce an "impressive" sound, like I heard on my favorite recordings and that I needed to strive to simply express God in everything I did and forget about impressing others. (Or even myself!) I simplified it to: "Don''t IMpress, EXpress." This more humble approach brought greater peace and confidence and eventually enabled me to sing with greater ease and control.

I''ve always loved music; my family did a lot of singing, especially on road trips. I started writing songs when I was 12, was in a rock band in high school and early college, got into classical music and started studying voice. My singing career has mostly consisted of singing solos in churches for the past twenty years. (If you have trouble hearing the tracks email me, I''ll be glad to help with tips that helped me.)
God Bless and thank you for stopping by.
