Always enjoyed music. I hated the lessons I took for piano. It wasn't until College and I was dumped by a girl that I started writing music and it dawned on me that I wanted to pursue a career in Music. I bought my first Keyboard Yamaha DX7s. Every sound made me hear something different, feel something different. Moved to Nashville and was pretty lucky to start getting jobs from the beginning. (Thanks to a friend of mine giving me a great reference) After time on the road and a new baby moved back to NE Tennessee. Now using Reason 11 Suite, Cubase, Logic Pro X, and Spectrasonics software (Keyscape, Omnisphere, Trilian, and Stylus RMX). Traded two old keyboards (Ensoniq TS-10, ASR-10) that I rarely used for a Hammer Dulcimer. Can't wait to start learning this new instrument. Always wanted to play a stringed instrument and due to being shot in the hand when I was young couldn't play a guitar. Thankfully both my daughters took up the guitar. They come in handy when recording tracks. Love them dearly!! I also use the following companies Synth plugins - xferrecords.com/ - Serum, Izotope, Korg, Applied Acoutics Systems, Native Instruments Komplete Ultimate 12 Collectors Edition Tone 2 - Icarus
