"The sound...stunning, the words...spectacular. Riser's vocals, both written and sung, are fantastic. I found his work thoughtful and insightful...His style is a mix... rock with hints of country popping through. It doesn't sit squarely in one genre, but that is a good thing in this case. I really was into his sound; it's fresh...If you are looking for a CD that is great from start to finish, Riser is your man."
Catherine L. Tully, Indie-Music.com review
Music lovers and fans of artists like "Nickelback", "Shinedown", "Daughtry", "3 Doors Down", "Matchbox Twenty", "Keith Urban", and "Brad Paisley" are quickly adopting this new singer's style as the next dynamic sound on the RISE.

You may notice there is a song named "Run"(Live) which is not on the "Rise" CD. Although I didn't formerly record it in time to make the "Rise" CD, I'm still thinking about putting it on the next scheduled album. It was included to give listeners a feel of my live show. Funny thing is, since launching the website, it's been leading the pack in the number of listening hits. Click on the MUSIC tab and go all the way to the bottom to listen for free, then email a link your friends. You can all help me decide. I appreciate your opinions.
