Writing music—lyrics and melody—is deeply cathartic for me. It’s where I find reflection and meaning in life. I wear many hats in this world, but in the moments I put on my songwriter hat, I feel most connected to my true self. It’s a connection to something greater: the Earth, a sense of purpose, and the present moment. I share my work with the hope of inspiring others to do the same—to explore their creativity and discover their own sense of self. While success is often viewed through the lens of external rewards, I’m learning that true success as an artist lies in the ability to inspire others to uncover their own creativity and authenticity.
