Born in Pontiac, Michigan on January 23rd, 1976. Raised among a large music making family, (mother Sally was the 10th of 12 musically inclined children of renowned Detroit pianist, Jimmy Stevenson) he began singing and playing at the ripe old age of three. By age eight he had begun playing and writing with his cousin and life-long musical companion, Cole Garlak. Together they spent the better part of their school years learning classic rock cover tunes (with the help of numerous rhythm sections) performing in garages and school cafeterias throughout Oakland county. At 15, he moved to Orlando, Florida to enjoy four years of working as a Mouseketeer on the Disney Channel's All New Mickey Mouse Club. After high school and the show's cancellation, he moved to Los Angeles to continue his career as a professional entertainer. He worked in commercials and on TV but soon returned to music and is now writing and recording songs.
