From Nashville to California!

After spending 25 years immersed in Nashville Country Music, I was drawn to relocate to Southern California, where I fell in love with the local California country music scene. From Nashville, I bring extensive knowledge and experience gained from working directly with top country artists like Trace Adkins, Kellie Pickler, and Tom T. Hall, among many others. In music venues and studios, I worked as both a musician and producer, gaining a wealth of knowledge about booking shows, managing contracts, merchandising, and other aspects of professional live shows. I also owned and operated a project studio, where I handled all aspects of studio production—from booking the right studio and hiring the best musicians to getting the optimal vocals from singers and mixing and mastering the final product.

My goal is to help you navigate the complexities of the music business, whether you're aiming to be a full-time musician or a weekend warrior. My insight and experience will help you enhance and showcase the strengths of your music while avoiding potential pitfalls that can occur without proper guidance.
