Rock Star:INXS

My family, friends & band mates (Lovehammers) have known me for so long that they can pretty much anticipate my every move., but the "ROCK STAR: INXS" show is something that nobody expected. I have never been more confident that what I am doing is the right thing for me at this point in my life. All of the anchors in my life, the things that help to maintain any semblance of sanity, have been cut and I have complete freedom to find some new direction. This is my opportunity to step out of my safety net and walk the line. I will be living with some extremely talented singers/performers/artist and I look forward to living out this once-in-a-lifetime experience together. I know that I will have to push all of my insecurities aside and be creative on demand; there are no second chances in this challenge.

This is an opportunity to step-it-up and see what I got. See how I compare when performing on stage with the best of the best. My preparation for the show has been my life thus far: writing songs, performing on stage, touring, promoting, throwing parties and trying to show everyone a good time. I will take what I have learned and do my best to impress. It is slightly nerve wracking to have no idea what you may be doing in the next few months but that is exactly what makes it exciting.

I know that by stepping out of my everyday life there is an opportunity to live a life beyond dream and learn something about myself. I have been a part of some cool sh*t in the past but nothing of this magnitude.
