About

Hi Everyone, My name is Wes. I write songs. I hope with my all that you will enjoy them. It all started when I was a kid whose parents were wise enough to take him to piano lessons week after week even when I wasn't very diligent in my practice. From there I began climbing behind drumsets before church on Sundays just to play some music. Somewhere around 13 I finally picked up the guitar and began writing the songs that I wished other people were writing, the songs that really said what I was feeling.

I recently finished a five-song project called Being Born. The songs on this EP are about beginnings: the beginnings of life, the beginnings of love, and the process of starting things anew. You can download it here for $5. I think you'll like it.

I hope that my music finds you well. It's my biggest wish to make music that connects with people on that special, personal level that says "hey, that's exactly how I feel." Thanks for listening!

What do you want?

I sat down today and compiled a list of wants. Some of them are serious, some of them are simple, and some of them are silly. Now that I’ve written them down, I can surrender it over to God and say, “Your will be done.” Life works out so much better that …
