I also have two dogs, a Chihuahua and a Yorkshire terrier, so if they like him, that's a good sign.

Living in Maryland, I saw that the opportunities were far greater in California than back home.

I enjoy being happy every day, and hopefully you can hear my happiness in my music. Life is beautiful.
