the house to Elvis when
I was really young and
telling me “This is Elvis!”
I sang at school in 2nd
grade and loved it but
didn’t follow up with it.
I have a deeper voice
and all the girls who got
parts for anything had
high soprano register
voices so I jumped to
the conclusion I wasn’t
a singer. The desire
never went away but I
started writing. I ended
up writing with Bon Jovi
in 2013 we wrote a re-
ally good record and
I learned how to be a better songwriter but I still wanted to
be a singer and denied it for a long time and went through a
drug addiction for 4 years which is a long time, almost died
a few times, not an uncommon story, but when I got sober
I knew it was what I wanted to do with my life. First I was a
teacher and while I was teaching I went after it full time. I
think meeting Jon really helped, and through Jon I met Billy
Falcon and he really taught me how to write. We wrote 6
great songs together.
Ok now let’s play it’s a small world (laughs) I’ve been to
Jon’s house twice and Billy was one of my best friends.
