About Me |

"Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything." - Napoleon Hill I had my first guitar when I was 5, and I have always loved music. I would come home from school and lip sync in the mirror to whatever top 40 song was on the radio. By age 10 I was totally into Rush at the time, and I couldn’t decide between wanting to play drums, bass or guitar. It was after hearing Edward Van Halen’s Eruption at age 11 that I knew I had to play guitar. That’s when I officially started. In 1993 I moved to Hollywood California to attend Guitar Institute (GIT). When I arrived there I was told that financial aid would not cover all my tuition so I was unable to register and begin classes. This devastated me, so after the L.A. riots, the fires, the mudslides and finally the huge earthquake on January 17, 1994 at 4:32 AM, I came back home in a state of complete hopelessness. I sold all of my guitars, my bass and my keyboards and flushed my dreams into oblivion. I became very angry and depressed, and a victim’s mentality dominated my thoughts and attitude. One day in 1998 I was over at a friend’s house, and he was showing me a black Gibson ES 335, semi-hollow body jazz guitar, that his grandfather had given him. I picked it up and played on it for a little while. Afterward he said that I was really in my "element" as he put it. I had barely played at all in 4 years. That really stuck with me and reaffirmed what was already in my heart since age 5; that I am a guitar player. From 1994 - 2004, I only picked up a guitar on rare occasion either at the music store or over at a friends house, and every time I did my heart yearned and ached for it, like a long lost love. My son was born in 2002, and he became my inspiration to start playing guitar again. In January 2005, after a 10 year hiatus from playing, I bought a cheap guitar and enrolled in college. Soon afterward I got my hands on my dream machine, the Parker Fly Mojo, which inspired me further in my playing like never before. Today, life is good. I have a beautiful son, and I’m also currently working on my first CD, "Fly to the Land of Z", which you can hear some demos on my player. Stay tuned for release date. ;) All of this experience has taught me a whole lot about life and about myself, but one of the main things is this. Never give up on your dreams or your passion. One day you’ll just start pursuing them again so you might as well just make up your mind TODAY that you’re just going to do it and don’t waste any more precious time! If there’s something you want, go for it! Life is not a dress rehersal. "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." - Thomas Edison This profile was edited with Myspace Layout Generator.org Editor Myspace Contact Tables - Get this Contact Table Lyrics |
