songwriter. producer. elephant groover.

I come from a broken family that suffered a tragedy when I was 19 and we lost my brother, who was 20. After that moment, I felt my life spiral into aloneness. I stepped out onto a journey to find a place where I belong and perhaps also a family unlike the fighting family I’d known, a family where we’re all connected and able to co-exist and be kind and loving toward one another.
My early high school friends were the broken-hearted. I gravitated toward those who were wonderful, humorous, and poor in spirit. When one of my best high school friends was asked what he wanted to be after high school, he’d say, “I want to be a bum.” He was a funny guy and we didn’t take him seriously, yet he wound up working with The Salvation Army and eventually driving a truck for them.
There was something that attracted me about the realness of folks who’d been hurt and were emotionally wounded. I wanted to help them, to alleviate some of their pain. Perhaps my soul was searching for its own healing, but to this day I delight in inspiring hope.
My friends will tell you I’m a great encourager. Losing my brother, being separated from my blood relatives, and facing my own loneliness issues opened my heart over time and made me strong and more able to help others.
Along the way, I had a spiritual awakening, realizing that my purpose is to lift up people all over the world, to heal people through the music I write and perform. I’ve been given great gifts – I have a unique voice and a healthy body and I write lots of songs.
I still have a heart for poor and rejected people throughout the world. I participate with various ministries that instigate change, helping to raise funds for the needs of the poor and homeless in the United States, and helping to give poor people a voice.
