Born and raised in metro Detroit, Michigan, I grew up listening to a steady dose of Motown. Old school R&B and Gospel music really formed the foundation for me as an artist today. I first started singing in church as a little boy. I had lots of opportunities there in choirs, worship teams, and even a Christian rock band. Singing in church also brought me opportunities to sing in lots of weddings. Not too long after high school, I was approached by a member of my church who also was the band leader for a successful, local wedding band. For the next eight years, I sang at more wedding receptions than I can count. It gave me a lot of great experience performing music that I have loved all my life.  In 2009, I moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue more opportunities in music. I was blessed with a son (Nolan) in January of 2010 and my priorities shifted. Pursuing my own music definitely took a back seat to raising a baby. So, I tried to get involved with small projects for our new church, and other artists in town. It became increasingly clear to me that I needed to focus on writing my own music if I was going to be truly fulfilled as an artist.  So, I started work on a couple songs in early 2012. In the middle of finally creating some music, I was given a new opportunity in Boulder, Colorado. Being at the base of the Rocky Mountains was definitely not what I pictured for myself, and my music. Living in Colorado, however, gave me more time to focus on my original material, while also allowing me to travel and sing with the group, DayOne. My introduction to the CrossFit community while in Boulder was another life changing experience that I value greatly. During the spring of 2015, I was able to record an additional 5 song EP with a release date coming soon. I have recently moved again, this time to Los Angeles, in an effort to once again pursue the dream of making music. I'm excited to share my new songs and experiences with you all.  Thank you to my family and friends for constantly pushing me to expect the best of myself. This music is for you!
