Born to Lansing, Michigan, I came rolling out like tumbleweed. We had hills in our backyard I’d slide down in the snow every winter. We moved around occasionally up there in the land of the lakes, I never minded really, I loved the change. When I turned seven in 2001, we moved down south to Memphis, Tennessee. I spent the next eleven years there.
I picked up guitar around tenth grade, I think. I’m not too sure. It was something that came extremely naturally to me. I never found it hard to express myself on it. I always challenged myself with it, too. I found myself transcribing Jimmy Page’s solos from the DVD The Song Remains the Same and trying to get as good as I possibly could. I would write and sing and that would make me so happy. I could do something all of my idols do.
But then there came a change I never knew I wanted; I moved my senior year of high school and left all of the friends I knew, my girlfriend of fifteen months, all of the familiar streets, all the things I had come to love. I was angry. I was afraid. I arrive in Nashville, Tennessee. I show up for my first day of school silent. My goal was to not make friends. I didn’t want to leave them all again. But fate loves irony and decided to give me some of the best friends I could ever imagine. I immediately join three bands as the new lead guitarist, two of which I’m singing in also. I began challenging myself in ways I had never seen. I began growing up. I began maturing as a writer. I began this metamorphosis of myself, if you will. I became a new person. I had confidence.
I’m currently a student at the Berklee College of Music for saxophone and am still an aspiring singer-songwriter who has so much growing up to do.
