I’m a singer-songwriter from Waxahachie, Texas. About 15 years ago, my parents bought me a guitar from Walmart as a wall decoration and little did I know it would become a constant in my life, a way to express myself, and the start of a journey I couldn’t have imagined. I didn’t have a lot of guidance growing up or a space to share my feelings, but I did have a guitar and a fire to get out all I had pent up. Music quickly became my way of telling stories and working through what I felt inside.
I’m a first-generation musician, and those early years shaped not only my sound but also my approach to life. A fire lit in me to keep going and figure out my own path. Every note I play is a tear Ive shed or a laugh ive let out, and the influence I feel for emotions is something I carry with me in every song I write.
Ive spent a little over four years in commercial construction. I worked my way up to Safety Manager, overseeing multiple job sites. That experience taught me the value of discipline, leadership, and persistence, lessons I now bring into my music career every day.
My music is real and honest. Songs like Poisonous Love and Overthinking from my EP Don’t Trust Myself come straight from the trials Ive faced throughout my life. They are about fake love, heartbreak, overthinking, and figuring out life as it comes. I write songs that feel like a conversation with a friend, songs people can relate to and feel something from. That connection is what keeps me inspired to create and perform.
Dallas is home, and the city inspires me every day. Its energy, culture, and people shape who I am as an artist and the stories I tell. I love performing, sharing my journey, and connecting with people who feel the same way I do about life and music. Every show and every song reminds me why I chose this path.
Music has taught me to be true to myself, to stay persistent, and to embrace every part of the journey. I am grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way, and I am excited to keep sharing what I have been working on. This is still just the beginning.
Debut EP Don't Trust Myself is my window into my thoughts and feelings as I navigated some of the toughest trials In life I've had to face. It dives into my mental health, getting over heartbreak, and an attempt to escape from the mess. Let the sounds take you through the journey and let the lyrics paint the scene.
