Makoche Recording Years

My recording career started in 1994 with my first release "Distant Shores" a solo American Indian contemporary recording for Makoche Records out of Bismarck,North Dakota. Makoche was formed and intended to be and American Indian traditional music label focusing on the local tribes in there region. This label was started by producer and engineer David Swenson and marketing director Cherie Harms both North Dakota residents. I would like to thank both Cherie and David for not only giving me my start in the recording industry but introducing me to many of the finest American Indian artists in the world today. I am proud to look back on the journey with these people and my recordings listed below. These can all be purchased by going to makoche.com
