About Me

Grew up in Wilmington, NC. Sang in chorus, had some friends. Went to Appalachian State University and finished with a major in English and a minor in Black Studies. Reattended Appalachian State to receive a Masters in English (Literature). While in Boone, during my undergraduate I used to play around town a good bit, it was interesting because people actually showed up to listen to me. They weren’t just there to have their coffee or whatnot and become annoyed by the music that surrounded them. So I’ve moved to an Atlanta suburb and decided to record again. I should be beginning the process at the end of April if all goes well.
