I'm a singer/songwriter/producer from Lehi, Utah, (that one town from footloose). Music has been my lifelong passion, cultivated by my family's deep love for dance and the performing arts. Growing up surrounded by a variety of sounds like The Killers, Coldplay, Maroon 5, and Keane, I developed an appreciation for diverse genres and styles.
I began writing early, experimenting with poetry and lyricism in my early teens. At 15 I taught myself piano, and by nineteen, I achieved a significant milestone: independently writing, recording, producing, and mastering my debut album. This immersive experience ignited a fervor for music production, leading me to create many full-length albums since. Each reflecting my evolving creativity and influences.
In addition to my music endeavors, I've gained over 5 years of experience in videography and photography, filming and producing numerous professional music videos, further expanding my skill set and artistic vision.
Relocating to Arizona and later Denver, Colorado, expanded my musical horizons as well. Whether it’s headlining shows, opening for local bands, performing in small coffee shops or on mini national tours in my van, every stage has been a lesson in self-discovery and growth, reinforcing my belief in the transformative power of music.

I've traversed many roles in life—perceived as an outlaw, hero, villain and more. Yet, amidst the chaos, one constant remains: my unwavering dedication to music and the arts. From exploring taboo subjects to delving into the complexities of love, my compositions encapsulate journeys through realms both earthly and ethereal.
Formally trained in sound engineering at Full Sail University, I uncovered a sobering truth: the music industry is entrenched in corruption and control, stifling the emergence of new voices. Determined to shift this paradigm, I advocate for artist empowerment, striving to restore autonomy and equitable compensation.
With over 25 years of music production and songwriting experience, I possess a profound ability to connect with diverse sources of inspiration. I delve into the essence of artists' souls, extracting their authentic expression to create resonant works of art.
