Music Friendly
In August 2021, Odessa was formally certified as a Music Friendly Community by the Texas Music Office in the Office of the Governor.
What does being a Music Friendly Community mean?
Participation in the TMO’s Music Friendly Texas program provides Texas communities with a network for fostering music industry development, and sends a clear message to industry professionals that certified communities are serious about attracting and developing music industry growth.
This designation and our participation in the program reflects the appreciation we have for music as a community. Odessa is a city that values art and the impact it has on our economy, mental health, and emotional wellbeing. Being a Music Friendly Community amplifies that message.
“I congratulate Odessa on earning the Music Friendly Community designation, and I look forward to amplifying their continuing success.”
– Governor Greg Abbott

My journey began the moment I was given a guitar at the age of nine. I formed an instant bond and desire to play all types of melodies. My first inspiration was Hank Williams Sr. and his country sounds, which branched into folk, blues, cowboy, acoustic rock, and now “Wooden Music”. These experiences in music brought me an awareness of life that compelled me to write about it, and through years of refining my music, and singing about truth and hope, “Wooden Music” was formed, and continues to grow.
