About Me |
|
If you love me.... Put a banner on your page! Just copy and paste the code below into your profile. I grew up in Roberta, Georgia (pop. 808)... I'd have to say my biggest influence is my dad. He played guitar and sang for me ever since I was a baby. His music was the only thing I ever listened to as a kid. And...Whoever bought me that Mariah Carey tape "Emotions" did me a huge favor... I would practice singing to her every day. I owe my lucky ear to my dad and that tape. The first time I sang in public was at an all black Southern Baptist church on Christmas eve when I was 8. For some reason I decided to sing "White Christmas..." I just recently realized the humor in that -- but luckily at the time, everyone thought it was cute... Soon after, I started singing in talent shows and would do the National Anthem for opening day of little league baseball. I would always act like i could play my dads Gibson -- 'till he was getting pissed that I kept knocking it around...So he bought me my very own guitar when I was 13. As soon as i learned a new chord -- i wrote a new song...And thats pretty much how it goes. meiko Add to My Profile | More Videos Here's the piece from Good Morning America! Yay!
