Halter started piano at age eight and began writing songs at age 15. But Halter says that the first time he played before an audience he was terrified. Well, he was in the second grade. The next time he played before an audience the results were much better; he was 17 and it was at a local coffee shop. Even though Halter had been writing songs since he was a teen, he was a human juke box playing everybody else's stuff until just a few years age. Halter, who is constantly on tour, says that MY Space has been great for his music. In fact, his friends list on the website top 65,000 people.
