Two Is Better Than One

In a previous blog, I talked about a legendary rock group and their performance coach. Like that band, there are many other artists who have chosen to partner with a performance producer/coach, like myself, who offer new insight to live performance. Within the team I’m in, we have many members, all with diverse gifts.

I personally have a team who help me in both my career and in life. 

First is my wife, Skylar. She has the most interesting part of the journey with me in Live Performance Producing because she has been a music artist herself for many years. Skylar always has the skeptical artist perspective, which really helps me see material from a different point of view. 

Next, I have my family. They have been amazing supporters of me over the years. A special drumming moment I’ll always have is my mom being the promoter of a hometown show of ours in 2019. She worked extremely hard, faced many challenges and grew a lot during the entire process. What I’ll remember most was her introducing the band, to bring us onstage. 

My dad has played a huge role in my music career, as he was the first drummer I knew! He introduced me to the drums when I was only 4 years old. My dad was also the one who approached our then worship leader, Deb McGee, about taking me under her wing, to groom me as a worship drummer, at the age of 11. I owe Deb a debt of gratitude for taking that chance and investing so much in me. My dad is also a published writer, who has ghostwritten a couple of biographies, had numerous published newspaper and magazine articles and won writing contests. He is my built-in safety net, my go-to guy for help with anything I write.

Lastly, I have everyone who I am blessed to work with. I originally began partnering with other artists on their show by myself. I now have the backing of the entire company. More importantly, I believed we could make this so much better as a team than what I could do on my own. Spiritually, I knew I would grow, as there is strength in submitting yourself to another and asking for help and walking through a process together. Company intern and now good friend of mine helped me rebrand and create a whole new website for my work and a fresh look for me in general. 

There are SO many people who have specific skills that could help make what you are doing THAT much better. That’s what we have to offer. I recently have received numerous messages from artists I partner with that have been such a blessing to me! It is an honor to be a part of your music journey.

2. Why should I work with Purpose Live?

Because we don’t just teach you how to perform; we show you how to connect.

We’re here to transform your onstage presence. Purpose Live ensures every aspect of your show—from storytelling to technical production—works together seamlessly, helping you stand out while staying true to who you are.

3. What makes Purpose Live different from other performance coaching services?

We’re not just about making you look good; we’re about making you unforgettable.

It’s about authenticity, impact, and leaving a lasting impression on your audience.

No cookie-cutter solutions. Every artist is unique, and we tailor our approach to bring out your true essence on stage—no one-size-fits-all methods here.

No overwhelming production for production’s sake. We focus on YOU—your story, your message, and your audience. The production enhances your presence, but it never overshadows your essence.

• Wondered how to stand out in a crowded music industry
• Questioned whether you have what it takes to make a living through your music

5. If I sing and play well, isn’t that enough?

Singing and playing well are vital—but they’re just the beginning.

Performances that stand out go beyond talent. It’s about how you:

• Make your audience feel seen and connected
• Turn your songs into stories that resonate
• Create moments that stay with them long after the show ends

We help you elevate your performance, making sure your talent is packaged with dynamic stage presence, polished transitions, and memorable moments.

6. Why do you adjust song arrangements for live shows?

Because what works in the studio doesn’t always translate on stage.

Songs made for streaming or radio are fast-paced, designed to grab attention quickly. But a live show is a different experience—it’s about connection, depth, and immersion.

We’ll create space for the audience to breathe, engage, and feel every moment. Picture intros, outros, and interludes that turn each song into a journey, where every note invites your audience into the story you’re telling.

Imagine the energy of a sudden, dramatic shift that takes the crowd’s breath away, or the quiet, intimate vibe of a stripped-down section that feels like it’s just for them—those are the moments that resonate long after the music fades.

Think of it as tailoring your performance. We adapt your songs to create a flow that keeps audiences engaged, ensuring your show feels like a cohesive experience rather than just a collection of tracks.

7. How can Purpose Live elevate my live show?
