What is the best part of being in the music business? Having a career that brings enjoyment to myself and even others. The worst? The length of time it takes before you can actually feed your family (plan on a day job for a long time) What advice would you give to aspiring Singer/Songwriters?You will be blessed in your music pursuits if doing the Lords will comes first in your life. Doing his will needs to always be more important than music. Keep your priorities straight (family, church etc.). Don�t be motivated by fame. Always be open to the possibility of being led another direction in life than you would have thought and you will stay rational. Things are almost never as good as they seem (and never as bad). Who has inspired you to become a musician? It all sort of came together. I wanted to go into business and have a more stable career, but I felt directed this way, somewhat against my preference, initially. Slowly it has become very rewarding however. What is (are) your favourite scripture(s)? Alma 38:5 "And now my son Shiblon, I would that ye should remember that as much as ye shall put your trust in God even so much ye shall be delivered out of your trials troubles and afflictions." What is (are) your favourite hymn(s)? "On This Day of Joy and Gladness" What are some of your favourite things to do? Vacations with the family, watch a ballgame, go to restaurants with Michelle.
