I'm originally from Eastern Oregon and was brought up in a musical family. We had a family band "The Homestead Quartet" and in 2003 we went on tour around the US and Canada for three months logging around 16,000 miles. In 2004 I moved to my current home of Tri-Cities, WA to pursue music at Columbia Basin College where I received my Associate of Arts degree and was also introduced to Jamie Cullum who inspired me to begin to take singing seriously and have never looked back. I've had the privilege to play with many great musicians all around the northwest and beyond, even making it down to Honduras to play a jazz festival in 2013.
In 2011 I released my debut album "Seasons" , a collection of tunes written over a 10 year time span laying out the life's journey of a 20 something. 6 years later and finding my " sound " I'm back in the studio and looking forward to releasing new music in 2017.
