What project(s) are you currently working on?
At the moment I am mainly working on my own music. Writing, recording and planning the summer tour. I’m starting the new year with some new music! I’m also working on a duet with a new artist that I think will be awesome!
What inspired you to pursue a career in music and when did you know?
I’ve always loved being on stage as long as I remember. I took every chance I got when I was younger and I think I was around 6 y/o the first time. I’m that kind of person who loves the pressure and gets a kick when I perform. And by playing my own songs I feel like I give a beautiful piece of myself to the ones who are listening.
The folk music area where I grew up inspired me to listen to American folk music. I grew up on a horse farm so that part probably introduced me a bit too. Music makes me and the people around me feel good and it’s not more complicated than that!
If you weren’t pursuing a career in music, what would you be doing for a living?
I love people and I’m studying journalism and digital media as a side job. I wanna do something with Radio or TV.
