Most of my family lives in Bristol, TN / VA with the exception of my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew (they live in Los Angeles, CA). I have other members of my family scattered about the United States as well. My family has definately been the driving force of my musical indevors. My Californian brother-in-law works in the commercial music writing industry, and most all of my other family members sing or play an instrument of some kind as well. There have been some bands and singing groups that my family has been involved with throughout my entire life. I have had several opportunities to involve myself in a few of these groups which have only strengthened and excited my interests in the "realm" of music. I really feel a connection with music because of my family and I hope one day I can make good use of these feelings. :)
