In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. In 1st grade, I competed in my elementary talent show and, well, I won that sucker! Regardless that the other two contestants dropped out last minute, I came home with the blue ribbon. I killed it with Hanging Tough by New Kids On The Block. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Caedmon's Call, Long Line of Leavers John Mayer, Heavier Things Matchbox Twenty, Yourself or Someone Like You The lyrical genius of Rob Thomas and the iconic 90's rock sound of MB20 is ingrained in my head. Long Line Of Leavers was the first album that I dove into sonically. Heavier Things change my world as a guitar player. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Milly” Milly is a song loosely based on an old real relationship I was in. After spending a few days in the wilderness of Oklahoma, I started playing it at live shows, and shortly after that, I was asked to come to Nashville to record it. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? In September 2021 I had the privilege of recording a few songs in Nashville with famed artist and producer Dean Miller. I recorded with some of the best studio musicians at the iconic Omnisound and The Sound Emporium. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I would love the opportunity to open for a major touring artist and one day hope to become an artist manager and coach.
