I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I’m young so it’s been pretty smooth so far for me.

But for my grandparents Charles and Donna, it has been much harder, my Grandpa still works so he takes off to get me where I need to be and my Grandma helps with making sure I look all cute and Spiffy. They drive me and fly with me everywhere!

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I write most of my music and put music to the songs myself then send to my producer.

Then, I go from Florida to Nashville and I record them with the band, and my Producer records them. I not only sing country, but I also sing songs from artists like Etta James, Chris Stapleton, Dolly Parton, and Creedence Clearwater.

I love all genres.

Networking and finding a mentor can have a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
I would just say don’t stop singing, you’re family is your best audience. I got lucky my producer heard me and called my grandparents and invited me to his studio that he moved from Nashville to Clarksville TN.
