Have voice will travel!!!


I was born in Vancouver Washington to Bob and Lois Gibson who both played country music all their lives, since they were teenagers. When I was brought home as a baby, I lived in a crib behind the control room at Ripcord Recording Studios which my parents owned and is still in existance today in Vancouver. This was my start to life and I would guess that is where I started to get the musical inspiration, even subconciously.


I had always played guitar from a young age, self-taught. I went to school in Seattle and we had "Guitar Class". We never really did anything in there only mess around, but this is where I stared to get involved in live performances as well as singing on stage every now and again with my parents, who only played country music and at the time, I didn't want to be known as un-cool, and really took to rock and hard rock music. This is what I remained doing for quite some time, singing in hard rock bands, writing rock music etc. The only problem was that I was doing this in Nashville. I lived in Nashville for about 10 years, and at the time nobody was looking to sign rock bands in Nashville (duh), but I always loved to sing rock and hard rock and wasn't ready to move into any other genre. Finally, I decided to move to Ireland and start writing country as well as rock. I had it in my genetic make up, but never really wanted to do it. Now I am hooked on the country stuff. I always really did like it, but didn't admit it.


John "Skully" Downey who is from Ireland plays bass on all the stuff. I write the songs, engineer them, sing on them and then I say hey "Skully" this song needs some bass on it and wah-lah, a song is born. I do this quite often which is good, I never really get writers block.


My only real problem is I can't pick a specific Genre! I want to sing and write country, rock, hard rock, pop etc. My motto is write what you feel, and feel what you play!


I have so many influences, and like so many different artists, I can't even think where to start, everyone from Robert Plant, Ann Wilson, Ronnie James Dio, Ozzy to Shania, Janis Joplin, Fleetwood Mac, Keith Urban, Elton John, James Blunt, Joe Elliott to name a few.

My life will have been a waste of time if I never get the opportunity to do something with my music, because since I could conciously think for myself, it is all I ever did and thought about. You could say it has taken everything from me I should of had and given me so many things I never would of had.
