Genres can feel limiting, but if I had to pick β€” it’s definitely folk-country.

The dream of reaching people with music. That simple, that powerful.

🎡 Who are your biggest musical influences?

My 7 Honky-Tonk Angels... and my dad. Both are deeply personal and profound sources of inspiration.

πŸ’Ό Are you signed to a label?

I’m unsigned and independent β€” but always open to the right opportunity.

βš–οΈ What have been the biggest challenges in your music career?

Honestly, the biggest hurdles are internal:
The fear of failure... and the fear of success.
