Youngest performer to make it on both TV shows American Idol AND The Voice. Only 18, he has accomplished so much you'll just need to read his bio. And know that he is as good a heart as he is an artist.

Celebrating!! Leann Rimes has released a brand new version of One Way Ticket!!
In the most awesome deja vu situation I've experienced, the song I co-wrote with Keith Hinton has a new life, and at 66 years old I get mentioned in the Rolling Stone Magazine article about this version of the song (which they apparently love!) You just never know the lives your music may take on!
****************************************
 I am thrilled to be trading my contemporary vocal lessons for classical voice lessons under
teacher Mark Thress!
It's been an awesome undertaking, We are learning so much from each other, and our mutual experimenting is benefiting each other's students!
Besides being a busy classical performer and teacher, Mark has been chosen to be a part of a unique task team to improve the technology of the electrolarynx. HIs heart is as big as his voice... and trust me, that's big!
***************************************
I've been writing a lot these last two months for ongoing projects, including with Heather Hayes, Briana Renea, McKenzie Knapps, Ricky Cook and Lauren Pochatko. Can't wait to hear them finally recorded!
****************************************
Had a blast producing tracks for Heather Hayes this month at Mainframe with engineer Nathan Smith. Chris Leuzinger headed up the band, and we'll be heading back in for another round next month. It's such a unique project; we're shooting for a Texas beach sound (yep, there are steel drums and ukes!)
***********************************
And I got to do what I've been doing for about 50 years now- sang background vocals!
Here's a shot of a vocal session marathon for Danny Shelton and 3ABN.
***************************************
Next ... look for my All Things Vocal Blog and Podcast update in your email mid-May. Got some great new episodes to share!
