ABOUT THE MUSIC
My songs tell stories that are personal, yet universal. My songwriting is influenced by travel, wanderlust, and musical styles ranging from indie rock to spaghetti western.
My new single, "Blink", is about the consequences of growing up too fast. The lyric video has garnered more than 50,000 views to date on YouTube.
My single, “Wake Me in Paris,” was a semi-finalist in the 2017 International Songwriting Competition in the unsigned category.
My West Coast roots and big sky guitar sounds blend together retro and modern sensibilities. I write a lot of instrumental music, which has appeared in more than 300 TV episodes on major networks, including A&E, CBS Sports, NBC and MTV (see the Credits page for more details).
