I used to be completely lost about my
purpose in the world.
Even though I had so much to say, I had no idea how to turn that into something special.
But my best friend had a intuitive message for me one day…
“Tiamo, you’re destined to be a singer/songwriter”, he said.
Because my dad was an accomplished performing songwriter, I had so much resistance about my friend’s message because I wanted to blaze my own trail. After a year of me fighting it, my friend called me one day and said…
“I’m buying you a guitar today, and you can just let it sit in your living room where you can see it every day. Then I promise you, the songs will find you.”
My friend was right—one day, the songs came down from the cosmos and found me.
I started writing and performing every chance I got. I grew a fan base, released studio albums, won awards, and became a full-time singer/songwriter.
I also experienced music industry struggles and big dreams being crushed. I was broken-hearted, but then, I re-defined myself.

The Breakthrough
After attending conferences, I saw the tremendous opportunity and promise in keynote presentations.
That’s when the inspiration to deliver “keynote concerts” emerged, and I had my career breakthrough.
After years of success, I began teaching other musicians how to deliver keynote concerts through my online courses and live seminars. This became my new passion, and in time, I also began teaching speakers how to craft and deliver their speeches.
I found myself running 4 businesses at one time—-music, keynote concerts, coaching musicians, and coaching speakers.
Honestly, I was the most unhappy I had ever been.
Business and audiences kept growing, but there was a problem. I was drained, burned-out, and sick most of the time.
I prayed for an answer, meditated every morning, and the answer finally came—in the form of a question that sounded like this…
“What would happen if I put joy first in my life, and business second?”
From this question, a new methodology came through me. Despite my fears of my business collapsing, I committed to this new lifestyle choice for a year and surrendered to all possibilities.
That’s when my Joy First book and course crystallized.
And now, I teach people just like you how to live from this place of greater joy, deeper purpose, and true, lasting success.
Joy First Life
My Personal Side
I am in love with life. I seek balance, magical moments, authentic connection with people, and expect miracles.
I would rather run through the rain than seek cover in the shelter. I am getting better at making choices and decisions in the absence of fear, and in the light of courage and unconditional love.
I choose to live my life from empowerment and self-awareness rather than reactivity, blame, and need. I believe in angels. I believe that life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away.
In everything that I do, I ask myself, “What would love do now?” and then I try to BE that.
I greet every day with an open heart.

I’m a huge fan of altruism and strive to make others feel special and unique because I ask myself “What better feeling is there than to witness someone realize their greatness?” I believe that life is a celebration of acceptance, even in the toughest of moments.
I dance with life. Sometimes I move to ballads, other times, I move to rock. I believe the answers to life can be found in the beauty of music, stories, and life-changing words, and that’s why I share them with deep intention.
I live in gratitude. I love to read, grow, laugh, talk, listen, exercise, challenge myself, be inspired, and do the inspiring. I get natural highs from being around people…but only because I know when to value my alone time and serenity.
I have a very strong connection with my beautiful wife Diane, my miracle daughter JeTaime, my family, friends, and live a life of passion.
I am humbled by nature. I seek to touch the sky and soar with the eagles, yet remain grounded with the Earth. Sometimes, I feel like a tidal wave of energy, other times, I feel like a stream through a forest.
To me, life is about loving the journey, and not having attachments to outcomes.
I want to be a gift to life, because life is such a gift to me.
