What made you fall in love with music?
I have been singing since before I can remember. My parents always tell the story of me at a young age telling them that they could not play the radio in the car because I wanted to sing for them instead. They knew then that I would be a performer and immediately signed me up for music lessons. Growing up, I wanted to be involved in everything music related. Aside from performing as a solo artist in my community, I participated in my school's concert band, choir, theatre, and wrote arrangements for an A Cappella group in High School. I decided to pursue the path towards a career in music by attending a music conservatory with plans to move to Nashville. Working alongside songwriters each day here at NSAI feels like a dream come true!
Who’s your favorite artist/band?
I have so many. A few of my forever favorites are James Taylor, Caitlyn Smith, John Mayer, Brett Eldredge, Phil Vassar, and Allen Stone.
What drew you to NSAI?
I was drawn to NSAI by the way that the organization welcomes the songwriting community with open arms. From Tuesday workshops to the resources provided for co-writing, there is no better place to start the Nashville songwriting journey as someone that may be new to town.
