Sometimes when writing a song you don’t know what it’s about until it tells you. Often I come away & think, ‘Wow, that was actually what was being said?’.
I want to build a business that helps other artists achieve their dreams, along with providing youths the tools & resources to become musical entrepreneurs.
My music is traditional country and always will be. My goal is to keep that genre alive and well and bringing new fans to real country music.

Music can be more universal than words to express emotion. Regardless of your mother tongue, you’ll understand & build a personal interpretation.
