My Story
Music and artistry have always been the expression by which I lived my life, and gratefully it still is today. From performing through dance and song as a child in community theatres and churches to uncovering my love of storytelling though songs and writing as I grew older, music has always been the constant that carries me forward.
​
I believe every story has purpose and beauty, whether full of joy or laden with grief and our responsibility as storytellers is to convey these messages to those that may need it.
​
​
I have always been an open book, yet for years shy'd away from fully expressing it through music. It felt too raw, like a personal diary that I didn't want anyone to see.
However, these past few years I've realized the power the combination of truth, emotion and music has and the affect it can have when you fully express your heart through it. It becomes someone's comfort, someone's celebration, someone's healing or inspiration. This is why I choose to do music.
​
Growing up, I was introduced to many different types of music - from Gospel, to Country, Classical to Jazz, even to Pop and Rock. The room was always filled with sound, but the one that always stood out to me was the authenticity within Country. No matter what your mood or season you were in, Country had everything you needed to heal your soul, fire up your spirit or ground you to what matters most! ​​
I began playing Country music in my late years of high school and throughout my young adult life, but never looked at it as something I could pursue full-time until my late 20's. Even though I had been given opportunities to play and perform and even studied music in university, I kept placing music on the back burner of life to pursue the "stability" of the 9 to 5, but the more I try, the more I realize, I ain't livin and that ache and dream to do music and share my stories get's louder!
Life ain't meant to be hidden - it's meant to be celebrated, grieved, and most importantly shared! It's not meant to sit behind a screen or in a cubicle for hours - it's meant to be experienced - and more importantly... together!
One of my favourite things about music is the relatability - no matter what you're going through, you can almost always find a soul to connect with, someone who makes you feel seen though the good bad and the ugly.
My hope is to write, perform and cover songs that will comfort, inspire or ignite your soul to dance, cry or give you space for whatever you may need! To get to know YOU and hear YOUR stories too!
Just some of the incredible musicians i've had the opportunity to play with!
​
Life is a tale of intertwining stories between reality and our dreams,
and it's our job to weave them together.

I can't wait to share my stories with you, and maybe even share some of yours, if you'll let me.
