BIO
I write acoustic alt pop songs finding melodies from feelings that you can vibe with. After a decade of drumming I picked up a guitar to share my own stories of love, loss, happiness, and figuring out what this all means. My hope is to create a space where we can laugh at our struggles, find meaning in the music, and share a sense of belonging.
New Jersey based, globally inspired.
