About Me

I mainly write my songs about Jesus and His great love. The whole point of making music is for people to hear it, not to get money, not to get crowds, not to get attention, not to get revenge on classmates, not to sell a gajillion records, its to get across a message, a feel, a sound that no one else can make or express. So that they see through someone else's eyes, hear someone else's thoughts, feel the emotions; sorrow, joy, pain, love, loss. For me, the most important thing is to get across God's message. Not every song is about God, because like our thoughts, we're not constantly thinking about God because we are living life and living through situations. We still live in this world and have struggles and breakthroughs. But when we do think about God and His great love and grace, its something beautiful that should be heard..... Hope you like my music. (let me know what you think... if you hate it tell me nicely how i can improve, if you like it, let's high five.) -thanks to Ms. Lauren Winges for taking my photographs, she's an amazing photographer.. for being at every show possible, even at the empty coffee shop ones and of course, for dancing in my kitchen with my mum and i.... and THANK YOU to my dad for recording me at home, going over songs and mixing the songs in less than an hour!!
