A FEW THINGS ABOUT ME

I make pop music in my own studio.

The reason I love music is that it made me feel less alone as a kid. I’m always hoping to do the same for you.

I’m insanely, nerd-level passionate about songwriting. I love big pop melody and emotional storytelling equally. Some songs are all about the melody. Some songs are all about the story, and the best songs are about both.

My greatest passion as an artist is hope. I believe there’s always a way forward. I believe in new starts. I believe it’s never too late. I want to pass that along.

I’m rooting so hard for every kid with a dirty face who’s out after dark ignoring the call to come in for dinner, because he’s practicing alone and can’t be bothered to stop.

One of my favorite things is witnessing someone else experiencing something incredible – that I’m already familiar with – for the first time.

I love the sentiments in Disney songs, musical openers, and one-liners at the end of romantic comedies. If it’s capable of inducing eye rolls, I’m secretly touched in my gooey caramel center.

Sometimes I feel sorry for inanimate objects like ugly Christmas trees in a lot, because I imagine a world like toy story, where they want to be used & are sad to be ignored.

I am a dreamer. I love ridiculously sweet and cheesy things – even when I know they’re caricatures. Even when I know they’re not real. Because what they represent is real. What they awaken inside me is real. I will always come back to being a dreamer, and I think that’s my superpower.

All that said, dreams don’t work without work.

I’m stoked that you’re here and I hope my music moves you.
