I hear music in everything- cicadas, sirens, steel. Creating is how I turn the chaotic world into something human and alive.

Music is my language. It saved me when I lost my dad at 12. Songwriting became my way of understanding the world. Now I write, produce, and perform songs that connect what we feel but can't always say. I strive to make it human, honest, and alive.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere. I'm inspired by artists like Ernest Hemingway, Haruki Murakami, Kurt Vonnegut, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Roy Lichtenstein. Film, nature, and human connection constantly shape my perspective. I'm always listening, questioning, and noticing- so inspiration isn't something I find, it's something I live in.
What would you do with $25,000?Finish my album, pay my collaborators, share it with the world, and upgrade my studio.
