What made you want to start writing songs and singing?
I began playing guitar at the age of 10 and never
lost interest. I was completely obsessed with playing music, and my passion
only got stronger until I decided to start singing, and later start writing
songs. I have always driven to play and create music from the first time I
started playing a guitar.
Do you play any instruments?
I
play guitar, mandolin, some drums, and I pretend I know what I'm doing when I
sit behind a piano.
Did you teach yourself?
I took lessons
for a year and a half to play guitar.
Who are your biggest musical inspirations?
The
Allman Brothers Band, Alabama, The Marshall Tucker Band, Neil Young, Jason
Isbell, Stevie Wonder, and Bruce Springsteen were some of the biggest
influences on me. Some more musically, some more from the way they mastered
songwriting, but all have been very influential in my journey as a music lover.
Where do you get inspiration to write your songs?
Life, and that's
my favorite thing about writing. It's the honest truth from someone's heart
that made me, and so many other folks fall in love with songs.
Favorite songs you have written/co-written?
It always changes
at any given time what song I am most in love with, but "The Fall"
that I co-wrote with Cole Taylor and Jaida Dreyer is one I think I will never
get tired of singing. It is very special.
What moment in your music career is your favorite so
far?
Signing my
publishing deal with Red Creative Group.

Okay, I always ask people to tell me one thing about
themselves that is random or strange that most people don" know!
I don't own any
white socks, only black socks. And I don't really know why. I just like black
socks.
