Artist Biography
Born and raised in the heart of southern Virginia, I started playing around on the guitar when I was 10. I continued to learn, play, and write in honor of my dad (who also enjoyed guitar) who passed away when I was 12. For me, playing guitar and writing songs was the safest and most effective outlet for coping with losing my dad (and I needed it, because I definitely had some other not-so-healthy outlets that, thankfully, didn't consume me). Fun fact: I didn't learn how to play an actual chord until I was 19!
With family ties to the legendary Roy Clark and the granddaughter of the late Bluegrass extraordinaire Gene Clark, I feel like I was born with music in my bones. But, I've NEVER been one to enjoy the spotlight lol! For me personally, songwriting is not an avenue for popularity or recognition . . . it’s just something I love to do . . . it’s my absolute favorite form of expression . . .it’s fun . . . and when I’m picking out melodies, it’s like my heart comes alive!
After securing a successful career outside of music, I'm FINALLY able to focus on my passion for music and songwriting in my spare time. I never thought I'd actually have any of my own songs produced and released worldwide, but once I figured out how to turn my pain into my power and stop making excuses, I've made that dream come true! . . . so now, my next goal is to have a major artist perform one of my songs! #dreambig
