personal bio
There are so many things I want to do with my life. When I wake up in the morning, I am almost always restless. I want to travel, I want to dance, I want to sing. I want to give life! The problem has never been where to start. The problem is WHAT to start…and then of course WHY? Why is it important and why is it worth my time?
I’ve always joked that when I “make it big” (whatever that means), that I will be a professional endorser. I will endorse products I believe in – products that give life to people, art that adds beauty to the world, and initiatives that share the love of God, the truth of Christ, and the the life-changing reality that this life is yours to live…to the FULLEST! This world is so broken. And when I first started this music thing 7 years ago, I said I would fix it. It was ambitious at the time, and feels slightly silly at this point in my life. And my young bones are tired. STILL, it is all I want to do. Fixing the world…that is. Even if it doesn’t involve music.
I’ve been trying to find a way to make good, quality, non-tree-hugger-lets-all-sit-in-a-circle-and-sing-kumbaya-music. That would likely create a fleeting “happy moment”. No thanks. I want to write well. I want to write heart-breaking love songs. I want to wrestle with the hard questions of life and I want to ask them creatively. I want my audience to be just as much a part of the “show” as I am. I want fewer “Hi, how are you? Good. I’m fine too! Bye” songs. I want my songs to be a conversation…a long one. A real one.
