Where It All Began

As with many of us that grew up in the 70s and 80s, Troy found him self enthralled with guitar oriented rock music from bands like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, to Van Halen. Although Troy does not sound distinctly like the bands he admires, Troy’s music reflects the many sound scapes and dynamics of guitar bands of today and the past. His music has been recently compared to Bon Jovi, Nickelback, Bryan Adams, sprinkled with a touch of Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page.

Troy's passion for music started one fateful X-mas in 1973 when his parents bought him his first electric guitar. Coupled with another gift of music, Deep Purple's Machine Head that year, Troy's musical fire was ignited with sparks from the soul. That fire has been a non-extinguishable flame that burns strong and bright today. Since those first sparks, Troy has felt that music is the most influential force in the world. As he says, “Music can be the healer, the peacemaker, the influencer, the agitator, and the fire starter. You name it, music has been there in all forms and emotion throughout the history of the world.
