When I discovered Music:

Music has always been a part of my life. My Whole family is involved in music in some way or another. We enjoy music and it is part of us. Personally, music is my therapy - It's what keeps my heart beating sometimes. It's the positive change in people's energy that keeps me doing it.




When I discovered Karaoke:

I was in a low place in my life. I met some people who were in a similar situation. I found some of them to be emitting a positive glow and encouragement. We would often meet, play guitar and sing together. They encouraged me to come sing at a karaoke bar they raved about. Reluctant, but trusting, I went; and soon discovered others just like me. After a while, I was feeling better. New opportunities were presenting themselves, I was making great friends and I had finally found some happiness in my life.

 

When I discovered Dog & Pony Sound:

I got a job bar tending and playing music at the Cajun Attic in July 2009. Stray's enthusiasn convinced me to make an appearance at her Sunday Karaoke show. The people were filled with love and passion for music. I got to meet Dog & Pony (the actual people) at their BBQ party in the summer and I fell in love with their compassion for one another. I had forgotten there was such a beautiful world on earth. Since the summer, I've never stopped working for them... even if they didn't know it yet :)
