Based in Denver, this alternative singer-songwriter has earned a fiercely loyal fanbase, not just through his heartfelt lyrics, but by staying true to his unfiltered self on social media.

About HONEST
“Honest” is a raw, heartfelt track that captures the emotional turbulence of a relationship on the brink of ending. It’s that moment when you can feel the inevitable, yet you still hold onto the hope that things might turn around. I wrote this song with VITO during a visit to Terre Haute, IN, and it ended up being the spark that ignited the entire concept for “Haunted Hearts.” What began as a single moment of honesty between us became the foundation for an album that explores love, loss, and the ghosts of our pasts.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
