As a Columbus, Ohio native I grew up listening to rock bands such as Van Halen, Kiss & Led Zeppelin to name a few. I started playing guitar at 14 and went on to play in some local bands such as Crushing Gravity later in life. Even though I have always been a rocker at heart, I have always had an appreciation for acoustic/singer songwriter style music. Now my goal is to blend the two styles and release my music to the world under the pseudonym "Burning Karma."
