A little bit about me
So glad you're here! I am from Orange County, California & moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 2016.
In May of 2020, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Belmont University with a Bachelor of Arts in Songwriting.
Now I'm writing pop, country, singer-songwriter & christian songs for artists, as well as sync, every single day & loving it.
Some exciting things that have happened lately are:
Being the 2024 grand prize winner in the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) Annual Song Contest, winning the 2024 ASCAP Peggy Lee Songwriter Award, regularly playing at the legendary Bluebird Cafe, performing in the 30th & 32nd annual Tin Pan South Songwriter’s Festival, having a cut featured on RadioSoBro Nashville, being a semi-finalist in American Songwriters 2023 annual contest, being a finalist in U.S.A Songwriting's 2022 annual contest, being named "One's To Watch" by NSAI, having several songs placed on NSAI's TOP 40 playlist & placing TOP 10 in NSAI's 2022 Global Chapter Challenge.
