My Inspirations

---

Two time Grammy Award  Winning Artist Tori Kelly is a Super Star! I love this girl! She sings like nobodies business and is a true inspiration for so many. I had the chance to meet her on Access Daily recently. Best day of my life! She's actually the reason I started playing guitar. She sings, writes, plays guitar and one of the most kindest human beings I ever met. I do cover a LOT of her music. 

Talk about a song writing genius! San Diego native and super entertainer 'My Name Is Chapel'. He encouraged me to do my first Open Mic! Go buy his music on  all platforms - you won't be disappointed. Oh..and check out his movies too! He does it all! Thanks 'My Name Is Chapel' for all your support!

Dodie is awesome! Youtube sensation, Singer/Songwriter, Recording Artist. and all around musical talent! I got to meet her and actually sang a bit during her live performance in San Diego! Yep, I held a sign that read 'Would you be so kind as to sing a song with me' and stood in the front row. She pointed me out and handed me a microphone! If you check my Vimeo link, you'll see the video. Let's be honest - I cried a lot!. Thank you Dodie!

I love me some Dolly! She's a legend, enough said. Check out covers I've done of some of her songs. Such an inspiration, her songs, lyrics, talent. I hope I get a chance to meet her one day!

English Singer, Songwriter and Actor. Love his music! Be sure to check out my Harry Styles Covers! I may or may not, have a life size Harry Styles cardboard cutout in my music room as inspiration. (If I ever meet him, I'll deny it!)

Dr. Max Branscomb is an accomplished Playwright, Songwriter, Theater Director and Professor of Journalism at Southwestern College. He has so many national and international awards I can't list them all. He is my biggest supporter, encourager and first musical inspiration. He believed in me before I believed in myself!
