Music has always been in my blood. I always had a dream to create my own album. A kind of bucket list thing.
I started early in life by taking piano and drum lessons. I played in school bands as I was getting my education. Started playing with some local bands during the same time. Never had a lot of success, just playing clubs around town. I went on the road for a while and submitted demo tapes to record labels with some of those bands. Actually, was offered a recording contract by a label with one of those bands, but, declined it due to a disagreement on publishing rights. However, I still continued pursuing a career in music. By the time I was in my 30's I realized I was not going to be a rock star, so started working day gigs as a full-time job and not just working day gigs to pay the rent.
I continued playing music during this time and always had a song in my head. The years went by and finally I retired from the day gigs. With no real plan for retirement other than the usual of travelling some and seeing the sites, I decided to create my album. Well, I started working on it and spent hours, frustration, tears, but utmost, joy in creating it. I finally finished and now am releasing it. The dream I always had wanted to fulfill. Now, I have a second album that is out now. I am very proud of this as I have added vocals to some of the songs. Which leads me to where I am now.
