Tell us three things about yourself . . .
I'm Irish. I’m a sensitive guy but I’m very dependable.
How would you describe your music?
My music is a fusion of Country Rock and pop, blending Irish and American styles together. It features drums and instruments at the fore front as I am a drummer and I like to create a mood or atmosphere that is very close to your heart and thoughts. My compositions often explore themes of truth but also fiction.
