6. What goals do you have with this one specifically?
– my goal with this is to really begin making headway on continuing to build my audience, build my identity as an artist and flow nicely into new singles and projects. We’re going to push this record hard for the next bit and let people know who we are!
7. If a new listener were to start with 1 song, which would you recommend?
– Indigo. This song has it all, and is such a vibe. It encapsulates all aspects of my sound, and people will find that it’s really the song that has the potential To take us really far!
8. What’s been a scary moment along the way?

9. Who inspires you?
My wife. She works harder than anyone on the planet, and she inspires me daily to be the best version of myself. She pushes me, calls me out when I need it and everything I’m working towards is for her.
10. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
– I see myself being very established nationally, with a lot of momentum, on the verge of really breaking through. My ultimate dream is to play arenas, so I hope to be very well on my way or close by that time!
