I'm a 1989' Graduate of Musician Institute, Hollywood, Ca.

I hail from a long musical family line, including my late first cousin Denny Purcell, owner and mastering engineer of Georgetown Masters Studios, Nash.TN. (his clients included Garth Brooks, Kansas, Willie Nelson, Neil Young); my luthier-to-the-stars cousin Shayne Owens (Patty Loveless, Kip Winger, Thom Bresh); and my grandfather William Cecil Purcell, who played banjo with Red Foley. And, then there was Henry Purcell, the famous 17th century composer who composed many songs for the court of Queen Mary.
