Born in Tucson, Arizona, I grew up for the most part in Dallas, Texas. I used to fall asleep listening to my favorite artists and would dream of performing their songs in front of countless crowds. I've always loved music in a way that felt like it was the core of my being, and deep down, I think I always wanted to be a musician. Since I was young, I've had headphones glued to my ears; music has always been a comfort for me in hard times.

I grew up on '90s rock, listening to it in the car with my dad when he drove me to school. If I had to name a few artists who were most influential to my love of music and sound, they would probably be Cage The Elephant, Juice Wrld, XXXTentacion, Brakence, and Twenty One Pilots, just to name a few.

I started playing guitar when I was about 10 years old, and though I hated it at first, I've come to love the instrument in many ways. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, I moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 2019. It’s a quiet town and a great one to grow up in. I only got one semester to try and establish a social life before the pandemic hit. When it did, I locked myself away, spending about nine months completely isolated from the outside world—and I mean completely.

This is truly when my journey in music writing started; it became my life, day in and day out. My uncle, who played in a band and toured, started to gift me equipment, and my parents had bought me a bass guitar the prior Christmas. I downloaded Reaper (which, fun fact, doesn't charge you for using it) and began trying to record and write. It was rough, and like anything when you first start out, you suck. I never gave up, though, because I wanted to make songs. I've spent years crafting my ability to write, record, and produce.

As I went through high school, I lost my conviction about truly wanting to apply myself to music. I believed it was too much of a long shot, settling instead for business school in the hope that I could perhaps make something of my music later in life. Well, I couldn't wait, and I made the decision to bet on myself for once—to believe in what I'm good at and truly apply myself.

So, I'm dropping out of business school and I'm currently applying to music school. I'm committed, and I'm going to make this work. Come along for the ride; it should be fun.
