In my own words…

My journey has been anything but traditional—I’ve been a boxing coach, an entrepreneur, a songwriter, and above all, someone who constantly chases new challenges. Growing up, music was my first love, the one constant that helped me understand myself and the world around me. But it wasn’t until later that I realized music would become the way I’d share my own stories, struggles, and triumphs.

Each part of my life has given me lessons. Boxing taught me resilience and discipline, business taught me creativity and grit, and music has always been where I process and make sense of it all. I wrote *Balloon* one sleepless night, inspired by a moment where my own ambitions got in the way of my relationship. I needed to explore the tug-of-war between my drive to keep pushing forward and the importance of staying grounded in the people I love. That line, “You fell in love with a balloon, dear, that will never stop trying to float away,” captures my fear of getting lost in the clouds while still longing for connection.

Then there’s *Thank Goddess for the 90s*, a love letter to the innocence and joy of childhood and a little nod to the beautiful mess of nostalgia. As a kid, I’d daydream about the future, about being on stage and living the life I have now. That song is my way of honoring the wide-eyed wonder I felt back then, while still wrestling with the bittersweet reality of growing up.

I create music for those searching for something real—songs that don’t just speak to life’s highs and lows, but to the grit, grace, and resilience it takes to overcome them. My songs are meant to be both a reflection and a release, offering a space where we can feel deeply, laugh at ourselves, and even find comfort in the chaos. When listeners dive into my music, I want them to feel understood, to feel inspired, and to know they’re not alone on this journey.

My sound is a mix of raw emotion, powerful storytelling, and a touch of rebellion. I draw inspiration from artists who’ve always stayed true to themselves, like Alanis Morissette’s unapologetic voice, Brandi Carlile’s poetic heart, and Foo Fighters’ fearless energy. Paramore’s grit and Hayley Williams’ charisma have been a huge influence on how I approach the stage, and the storytelling from bands like My Chemical Romance taught me to never shy away from intense emotion. These influences fuel my music, guiding me as I carve my own path, with songs that are big, bold, and always full of heart.

Thanks for joining me here and taking a closer look at what makes this journey so meaningful. I’m excited to keep sharing more of the music and stories that shape my life, and I hope they speak to you, too.
