Bio
I discovered that I was a songwriter at the age of 16. I was always singing and making melodies in my head, but I had no idea that I knew how to compose a song. It started with singing. I started a band in high school and began singing some poems I had written. I started writing more and more poems and wanted to put them to song as well. I decided that in order to keep playing and performing I would have to start playing an instrument, that way no matter where I was I could always express myself through music. I picked up the guitar and from the moment my fingers touched the strings I was hooked. There was not a lot of money for me to take guitar lessons, so I started teaching myself. I was involved in concert band and drumline in high school so I had an understanding of music and ryhthm. I continued playing and writing throughout college. It became my one true love and passion. I wanted so badly for people to hear what I had to say, however I had a decent amount of stage fright and anxiety about performance. I played open mic nights, and with lots of encouragement from friends began becoming more and more comfortable. Along the way I had an epic cd collection from which I would draw inspiration. When I hear a new artist that truly speaks to me I feel as if I have discovered a new world and I want to explore every angle. Just to name a few of these artists; Bob Dylan, Ani Difranco, Old Crow Medicine Show, Jurassic 5, Ray Charles, Nick Drake, and Joni Mitchell. After school was over, that was when I really blossomed as a singer and a performer. I began to play in bars and coffee shops. Stage fright became a thing of the past and I began to notice that I had a sound that was my own. I wasn't just play your simple E, A, G songs. I was slapping my guitar and playing rhythmic parts. My voice stood out and my lyrics breached everything from romantic relationships to our current political situation. I am a musician from the bottom of my soul. When I take the stage with my guitar I am in the moment and I love every minute of it.
