Some artists create an identity for themselves when they move to Nashville, others are born with one. Being a South Carolina native, with a strong background in music, I certainly bring my own. As a child, I snuck a pair of CD's from my mom’s collection -- Hank Williams Jr. and Stevie Ray Vaughn -- and the rest is history.

 I cut my chops as a lead guitar player in local rock bands, while also learning the back end of production as a sound engineer for a live music venue. After moving to Nashville, I began focusing on the kind of artist I wanted to be, and my self-reflection continuously comes back to those first two records I stole from my mother. Pulling inspiration from car trips with my parents, when our radio could be on any station playing any style of music, I can always count on the versatility of my history, when needed.
