Tripp Ishmael Bio and Information:

I am an amateur country music artist and songwriter located in the heart of the country in the USA (i.e. Tulsa OK). In many cases, I have actually experienced the life I write and sing about. I was born and raised in Oklahoma and I am proud of my country roots. My family adopted the name "Ishmael" from the bible in the late 1700's as many of them were Methodist ministers. As a 5th generation Oklahoman, my ancestors made the infamous "land run of 1889" in a covered wagon and staked a claim near Enid, Oklahoma. I have been married for 30 years and we have one daughter and we recently gained a son-in-law. During the day, I am a chemical scientist for a well-known company and produce music on my own time.

All of my music to date is written and recorded "acoustically". I maintain a recording studio in my garage apartment and the result is a unique sound and style. I don't claim to be the greatest vocalist or guitar player, but I can promise you that you will feel the emotion and heart I put into my music. I am excited to contribute my style of music to the world. If enough people buy my EP and with enough encouragement, I will have my work professionally recorded. This is as "raw" and authentic as it gets.
