About
Some of my best lines come from the hardest seasons — a NICU vigil, a parent forgetting your name, the kind of moments you don’t write about so much as write through. That’s where my songs live.
I write lyric-driven country and crossover music centered on family, memory, resilience, and the quiet moments that define us. My goal is simple — create songs artists can truly own: songs that sound like they lived them, not just sang them.
Currently building my catalog under Sovereign Songworks. I’m actively seeking co-writers who lead with strong concepts, value a well-turned phrase, and aren’t afraid to sit inside the hard stuff before reaching for the resolution.
If that sounds like your kind of room, I’d love to connect.
