When I turned 19 I kinda realized that I needed to write my own songs instead of singing songs written by other people.

I didn't want to call and schedule shows or call and make people listen to my music. Luckily, my friends and family really stayed on me and made me put myself out there.

A great song should lift your heart, warm the soul and make you feel good.

I love to exercise outside in the fresh air and sun: hiking, swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and jogging.

I try to keep myself busy. I always hang out with my family and friends and my dogs. Go to the beach. Go swimming. Go get exercise. Go on a hike.

Well, I started writing songs about three years ago when I learned to play the guitar, but I've been singing since I was eleven.

Writing is my therapy. My feelings build up inside of me and then I sit down and write a song.
