So here's the long and short of it. I was born and raised in Madison, WI which provided me with a great balance of mid-western sensibility and progressive thought. I needed to get away from home for awhile as a young adult. Naturally as an aspiring musician, I took the plunge and made a move to Nashville. While in Nashville, I spent some time studying music at Belmont University, and jumped into the corporate world (totaling almost 9 years). Being a non-conformist, and having a severe disdain for authority, I decided to kick the corporate bucket and focus on two things that I love; writing and music. Now the majority of my writing is for my own website MusicTyro.com. My style is pretty straightforward, and although I stay as professional as possible, I detest pretension. What I want most for my readers is to gain the inspiration to follow their passion, whatever it may be (and maybe a few laughs in the process).

27th October 2009
It's a rather old question. Are great vocal pipes something you're born with or something you build from the ground up? Consider the fact that speaking and singing are not the major function of your vocal folds. Their physiological function is to suppo...

The Nashville You Never Knew Existed

12th October 2009
Nashville has changed immensely in the last decade, and although certain elements of the city remain intact, there are alot of misconceptions about the vibe (and for my readers, the music industry). I'm mainly going to touch base on things to do and s...

Putting the Cart Before the Horse: When is Your Music Ready for Public Consumption?

07th October 2009
I may very well receive some hate mail from this article, so be forewarned that it's full of advice that some aspiring artists may not want to hear (but need to). Recently I met an aspiring artist (I'm not in the business of disparaging people, so ...

22nd September 2009
A couple months ago I was packing up my stuff to move, and I noticed my digital piano which had been sitting in a corner for some time. I was contemplating if it was going to fit in my car (fortunately the back seat was able to accommodate), but what ...
