Who are your musical influences?

What is your favorite concert you have attended? What made it memorable? 2 yrs ago CMA Foundation and Notes For Notes brought me and my parents to CMA Fest and gave us passes for the entire weekend. Those were my all time FAVORITE concerts. It was memorable because Eric Paslay came and met me and talked about music with me and gave me great advice!

What is your favorite place to perform? What do you like about it?
GUSTONS IN WOODSTOCK GA. On singer songwriter night, I get to jam with amazing local musicians. We have a blast.

Other than artists, who has been influential in your decision to become a singer? My nana. She definitely is a big factor in my love of music.

What was the first song you ever wrote? First and FAVORITE original “We ran” it’s about my brother Josh and his traumatic brain injury from accident when he was 19.  He was in a coma for 29 days they had to remove his frontal lobe. I told my parents to take him off life support because he was going to be in a persistent vegetative state, but they refused. It has been 6 years. My brother has made amazing recovery he walks, talks ,dates, drives you wouldn’t even know anything ever happened to him I wrote the song about the entire journey.
