At six years old I was introduced to Jason Mraz's album, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things. Simply said, I fell in love with music thanks to him. From that point on I began guitar lessons and started performing locally and beyond.

When I was hired by The Carrie Johnson Band several years ago as lead guitarist, I joined a new league of professional songwriters and players that furthered my singer songwriter goals and set the stage for my acceptance in the Songwriting Program at the Mike Curb School of Music at Belmont University in Nashville that I began in the Fall of 2021, concentrating on songwriting and music business.

Washing Over is is the 7th track on Kintsugi and seemed well suited for a lyric video.
This cover reflects the sound that has influenced a couple of tracks on my debut album, Kintsugi.
