No matter what you're going through, there is no temporary feeling or circumstance that can take away the core of who you are.

Music is cyclical and as an artist and songwriter, you need to be able to predict what trend is coming next.

I have certainly faced my fair share and will likely come across more. These experiences have been fuel for my music. Facing these challenges has forced me to recognize my own inner strength.

Pressure is high and jobs are at stake. There is nothing wrong with having commercial music to pitch for those situations, as well as for ad campaigns.

No matter what you're going through, there is no temporary feeling or circumstance that can take away the core of who you are.

Everyone faces challenges from the fierce competition as well as the manipulative crooks that are rampant throughout the music business.

My goal is to always contribute a part of myself to my music that will result in it sounding authentic, timeless, and real. I feel that this truly comes across in my new album, which is in the Rock genre.
