Every songwriter has a story of what has inspired them to write. 2021 was the toughest year of my life. I had many close losses and heartbreak all within months of each other. I needed a way to express how I was feeling without bottling up my emotions inside.

That is when I began to write my feelings on paper as a way of coping. With the addition of a little acoustic guitar, songs began to flow. My lyrics are from raw emotions that I felt in a single moment.

So many people around us are going through their own rollercoaster of emotions. Not everyone has something immediate to lean on. Being able to empathize and share just a moment in time: good, bad, sad, painful or happy is what I love about music.
