I'm originally from Macclenny
FL but I've been in Nashville about 4 years now
What made you want to start writing /singing songs?
It's always been my passion for
as long as I can remember! I can remember before I really knew how to play an
instrument I would write raps and come up with clever hooks and when I saw I
could start incorporating that with my guitar while learning how to play I fell
in love! It was always something I did to just escape or express feelings but
as I got better at it and started writing actual real songs I realized it was
something I needed to chase full time
Do you play any instruments? Did you teach yourself?
I play guitar! That's the only
instrument I can play fluently! I'm still learning piano! But yes I taught
myself how to play! I took like a couple months of lessons and just didn't like
going so I just started a watching YouTube videos and playing along to other
songs by ear!
Who are your biggest musical inspirations?
Well being a FL boy I grew up
on a lot of Bob Marley and he's always been my favorite! But I have so many
inspirations from Keith Whitley to Wiz to Sinatra! I have a huge love for so
many different artists
Where do you get inspiration to write your songs?
My inspirations come from
either something I'm going through physically/emotionally at the time or what I
feel is a good time party vibe that would sound killer live! I love making
beats and if you can put a killer beat in front of me I can usually roll with
something!
Favorite songs you have written/recorded?
My favorite of all my songs so
far is a song I wrote bout two years ago called "Pray"! It's just a
deep song and I personally favor! Haven't recorded it yet but hoping to very
soon! I do have a live version of me singing it on YouTube though
What moment in your music career is your favorite so
far?
My favorite moment happens
every time I get a message from someone saying how much they love my music!
That's an unbeatable feeling
If I could sing a song with anyone I would choose
Carrie Underwood
If I could play any venue I would choose
PCB spring break
with Luke
If I wasn’t a singer/songwriter I would be…
The owner my own
surf shop/bar somewhere on the coast
I’m afraid of…
SPIDERS!!
I never get tired of…
my fans
interaction with and love for me! That's the best feeling!
Okay, I always ask people to tell me one thing about
themselves that is random or strange that most people don’t know!
Oh this
is easy because I'm a really weird individual haha but something strange I do
is when I'm in a restaurant I can't sit with my back towards the door! I hate
it! I have to be facing the door!
