When you’re a singer, you don’t necessarily have to have a professionally trained singing voice at all ’cause there are many famous singers out there that doesn’t have a professionally trained singing voice at all like for example singers like Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Billy Corgan and Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips all do not have the greatest singing voices but they do it anyway ’cause that’s what they all loved to do. They just went whatever they had. I don’t want to be like those guys. That’s not the kind of voice I wanna have anymore.

I wanna become a real “singer”. Yes, a “singer” so I’m doing all I can to become good. I wanna sing more like Chris Cornell, Bruce Dickinson of Maiden and sing like a young Robert Plant. To sing like those guys you really gotta have the strong head voice and that’s what I’m working on. I really wanna belt out. Become the singer that people would enjoy hearing. Have more energy and passion in my singing.

I feel grateful that I’ve been getting positive feedback on my singing lately and I used to get a lot of negative feedback on my singing in the past. Trust me. I’ve had a lot of people say a lot of negative crap on my singing for years so I actually listened to them and thought to myself, “Gee, maybe they’re right. I should get better and prove them all wrong that I can sing”. A lot lately, I haven’t seen many people say negative things about my singing voice. Most all feedback has been pretty positive really which to me is pretty amazing.

I believe my singing is okay for now but I still have a lot work to do. I take singing very seriously now. I try not to drink cold liquids. Usually it’s mostly hot cup of tea or warm water ’cause that’s what you need to help keep the sound out of your throat and have more head voice. You need to have a healthy throat. No drinking. No smoking. No drugs. When you talk to people regularly, you need to talk softly and not loudly. Save the loud voice for your singing. I do singing exercises everyday and do plenty of warm ups.

I really wanna sing my best without entering any of those ridiculous competition shows on TV like “The Voice” or “America’s Got Talent”. I don’t need to go on those shows to show that I can sing good, I can do that through my songs and my covers.

I’m really trying to improve my voice in hopes of singing for a band someday in the future. I would like to get my first full band album in the works sometime too. Maybe I can do some special guest singing for EBJ if they’re willing to ’cause they’re always collaborating with other musicians all the time. I’m all up for doing something with them if they want it.

Singing is one of my favorite things to do, I’ll never give it up. I would like to put a full album out, maybe sometime in 2016.
