With a new EP just released two weeks ago, this singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist has performed in notable venues such as The Bitter End and Rockwood Music Hall in New York as well as the Hotel Café in Los Angeles. He has even performed in France. He had more than 53 thousand streams of his music last year on Spotify – despite not putting out any new releases in 2019! Now living in Nashville, he grew up in Boston, and has also lived in New York, Los Angeles, and Orlando.
"Writing with other people, it's such an amazing way when you first introduce yourself, ya' know, 'Hi, I've never met you before but let's delve into our deepest, darkest and write about it'."
"Sometimes it'll be, I'll go in (to a co-write) and take the songwriter role and not so much the artist side... So, it's fun to kinda wear both hats really."
"(In 2019) I also left Los Angeles, left Orlando, moved to Nashville. I didn't know a lot of people here, so I (was) just kind of jumping into the music scene and I was still trying to find myself as an artist and a songwriter and kind of figuring out what I wanted to say and who I was."
"I hit a point where I knew I wanted to do music but I don't know why I wasn't. I was just afraid, I guess, to take that leap. So finally I did."
"I wasn't happy. I knew that there was something missing. And then I kind of figured out -- I had like an a-ha moment -- that it was music."
"I love piano. I also play harmonica and a couple different string and wind instruments, saxophone and clarinet and stuff like that."
"I've kind of grown kind of a little following in France and some other French-speaking areas and it's really fun to speak with them and see how they like the French translations of (my) songs."
"Born to Love My Dream"
"Feeling"
