At M4ME, our goal is to give artists a place to grow and mature in their craft while honing their skills without the pressures of a major label. While showing the utmost respect to our artists and their ability to earn a living with music, we also give them a mechanism to give back through our fundraising efforts for the Macy Easom Cancer Research Foundation.

M4M is a celebration of the life of Macy Easom and her love of music. It is a competition but more than that, it is an educational endeavor that allows aspiring and amateur artists to hone their craft in a safe environment with mentors that genuinely care for their growth as artists. Finally, Music4Macy is an opportunity to raise awareness and resources to forward the goals of the Macy Easom Cancer Research Foundation.Whether as a competitor, a guest at our evening event, a corporate sponsor or a contributor, we invite you to join our Music4Macy family and help us celebrate a life, enjoy an evening out and help us as we work to save the lives of children so the music won’t have to stop for them….as it did for Macy.Please visit our website - www.music4macy.org

As described in the Summary Section - there was always the music!I have been singing all my life; as a singer/songwriter and as part of a band. As I grew into adulthood, I continued as an artist and eventually, a producer. As an expression of my faith and my desire to share that faith, I've spent most of my life in some capacity as a worship leader. Sometimes as part of a team, sometimes filling in for others and sometimes as a staff member of a church. I've been privileged to share the stage with grammy and dove award-winning artists and I've been just as excited to sing with those who simply want to 'make a joyful noise'.I love all kinds of music. I feel so blessed that, combined with MECRF, it is now not only my passion, but also my vocation.

Following a long family tradition, I joined the USAF and became a member of the 5th Combat Communications Group - the 5th MOB. During my enlistment, I was privileged to serve in Desert Storm as both a communications technician and a courier.The next step on my journey took me through the Federal Aviation Administration and an Engineering position with Lockheed-Martin, where I learned network installation and maintenance.Finally, I was invited into the Financial Sector into sales and executive positions that eventually encompassed networking and data security fields, distributed computer systems, communications and teleinformatics.After a few years of Consulting work, I put a period on this wonderful career and began to focus my attention on a growing passion for raising awareness and funding for childhood cancer research.
