Your voice is warm and uplifting – how does it make you feel when you are creating music?
Music has always been my happy place. It brings me great joy to be able to sing, write and arrange music, and to perform. Performing is an aspect I particularly enjoy, because I appreciate the opportunity to connect with others in such an intimate, unique way.
I think music can be very healing, so as I hope to positively impact others through it, I recognize that it impacts me in wonderful ways too.
How has your background/experiences, influenced the music you make and want to make?
Life often has lots of twists and turns, some expected and some out of the blue, and I think the many things I have experienced in my life, both difficult and wonderful, have influenced me to make music that is authentic and sincere.
I find that type of music to be most relatable, and I always aim for my songs to allow for easy connection.
What is your dream?
My goal is to positively impact as many people as I can reach through music. I don’t aspire to be famous, though I realize that it’s always a possibility in this pursuit, but I’d rather my music do great things and my personal life maintain as much normalcy as possible.
If your music was a season, what would it be and why?
My music would definitely be Fall. It’s my favorite season, and most notably a season of beautiful change. When I write songs, I typically write from a very current perspective.
Those thoughts and ideas tend to evolve over the years as life blesses me with experience, which can get quite interesting. It’s very revealing to reflect on my life in that way, but it also shows just how much I’m constantly working to become a better human.
