About Me I'm the middle child from a family of eight. 4 boys, 4 girls. My dad passed away of cancer when I was nine. We had no income, as mom was a full time mother. My brothers and I were blessed with the gift of music, and within months of my dad's passing, my brothers and I began working to support our family. We performed 6 nights a week till 2 in the morning while still in school. After being denied the ability to graduate from high school, I left at 18 to start touring with my brothers. We played all over the country as the Nichols Brothers, opening for everyone who was anyone during the 80s. This led us to an opportunity to move to Nashville to pursue a recording career. Thanks to my dear friends, the Pegula's, we moved to Music City in 1994 and I never looked back. The band broke up in 1996 after 24 years together, so I could start working on records. I've had the honor of recording and/or touring with everyone from Reba, Faith, Elton John, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, to B.J. Thomas, Brian Wilson, Bill Medley, and many, many more. I've also worked on several movie soundtracks and bit parts, including Hanna Montana: The Movie. I'm currently President and head of A&R for Black River Music Group in Nashville, with my wife of 19 years, Tonya "Cochran" Ginnetti of Marion, OH. We have three weiner dogs; Elton, Mongo, and Wladimir. We lost our beloved dog Taupin in 2009. I've also lost my dear sister Terry, and mom Marion, both of whom I love and miss terribly. Life's far too short people, so love the one you're with...(read more)
