  For people just discovering you Eileen, could you tell us a little about your background?  EC : Sure. I grew up in middle class family in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. Sang in school musicals, church and theater productions and banged on the drums for a time. I was always into music but went to school for management and began working for a national hotel chain, which transferred me to Los Angeles at my request.  I came to Los Angeles to work in the film industry, even ended up in a couple films, but I couldn't ignore my love of music over all things. I was booking entertainment as part of my management chores when I realized I could sing and write songs myself. Never looked back.   What’s a typical day of creation like for you? EC:  I am constantly writing little notes to myself. Little things that I see. Or some melody might catch my whim. I spend every day thinking of song ideas, and put aside time for my writing.

  DC is a Florida-based country musician whose music covers the spectrum of emotion, sung directly from the heart. Now with over two and a half decades of experience of translating his feelings into sound, DC’s been well on his way to achieving his goal of touching as many people as he possibly can with his music. For DC, if only one person takes something positive from his music, that’s a success in his eyes. DC was born in Plant City, Florida, and was raised in central Kentucky on a healthy diet of country and bluegrass music. This inevitably shaped the musical style he brandishes today, reeling in influences from the likes of Keith Whitley, Merle Haggard, Daryl Singletary and Vern Gosdin. Although he echoes inspiration from many of these greats, his music also has a voice of its own – a unique country sound that places authenticity at its core. DC has also had the opportunity to write music alongside Charles Fredrickson, Charlie Craig, Razzy Bailey, Craig Hand, Eden Langworthy and S

  Where are you from and could you tell us a little bit of your upbringing?  I grew up in Ogdensburg, a small city on the St. Lawrence River on the Canadian border in upstate New York. I was the oldest of five siblings. I think I was singing when I came out of the womb! I fell in love with music at a very young age. My earliest childhood memory, actually, is of me at 3 or 4 years old singing "I wanna Hold Your Hand" by the Beatles into my mother's hairbrush in the mirror while dancing on my parent's bed!  I am obsessed with music!  I worked as a nightclub and radio DJ for over 30 years just so I could be close to music. It's the greatest escape to put on headphones and just live in the moment and get lost in a song. Music has been my confidant, my savior, my escape and my best friend at times.  It's always there when I need it the most and it doesn't judge. What genre of music do you make and when did you first decide to be a musician? I  make alternative
