Bio

I believe that with determination, faith, and hard work people truly can achieve anything. My goal is to make every space I enter better than when I found it and make every person I meet feel valued. Music is my life and it's the way I want to spread positivity out in the world. My goal after high school is to attend a 4-year college and major in music industry studies.

    3LAU "Everything" Scholarship
    Music is the one thing in this world that actively moves me, motivates me, and inspires me to be better. Every. Single. Day. It's with me at every moment in my life, whether in my headphones, on my mind, or at my fingertips. When the lock down hit toward the beginning of 2020, I didn't have a lot of time or space for much creativity. I was an honors student with a heavy course load, a student athlete, and I even had a part-time job. During quarantine, I felt so blessed to have the free-time that allowed me the opportunity to pursue my passion of creating music. Over the past 15 months, I have been steeped in music --writing, mixing, recording, creating, and I discovered that THIS is what I need to do for the rest of my life. I recently released an album called, "Admission," which includes 9 original songs (available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and iTunes). And I had the best time recording my very first music video for "Swingin' At The Park" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2smBwN0OMrY). The song I'm sharing with you below, "Believe," was an awesome collaboration with my friend, Amelia. It started in my head as a classic "come-up" song, something that would show what I have to offer as an artist and music creator, just starting out. So in the early stages of writing, I knew Amelia's pipes would blow away everybody who listened to it. This piece, for me, is what getting into the industry is all about. I'm done sitting on the fence; I'm chasing my dream and making my own path. Not for the money, fame, or ladies, but to live my life doing what I love and expressing myself freely. There was so much uncertainty and negativity in the world this past year, and during my own times of uncertainty and negativity, music helped me to get through it and keep a positive state of mind. I want to share this resilience, strength, and positivity with the world through my music. I'm planning on pursuing a degree in music industry studies so I can continue to progress and motivate and inspire others.

    When the lock down hit toward the beginning of 2020, I was an honors student with a heavy course load, a student athlete, and I even had a part-time job. During quarantine, I felt blessed to have the free-time that allowed me the opportunity to pursue my passion of creating music. There was so much uncertainty and negativity in the world, and I wanted to share my positivity through music. For this song, "Believe," I wanted to create something that showed how serious I am about my passion for music and how committed I am to making it my life. I wanted to inspire myself and others to put greatness out into the world, even when we have our doubts. This is just the beginning.
