I moved to Nashville this year for mostly artistic reasons. I wanted to immerse myself in an area that celebrated and nurtured songwriters and musicians. Picking up and leaving the only place I’ve ever known as well as saying goodbye to my loves & longtime friends at this late in the game has been one of the hardest things I have ever done. Before deciding to take the plunge, I had been traveling back and fourth from South Florida to Nashville for 3 years, writing on behalf of AbFab Artists & being mentored by Jodi Marr who has single-handedly added the art of co-writing to my creative arsenal. The outlet has raised my songwriting bar significantly. It has been a beautiful awakening- a truly humbling and gratifying experience in all the best ways possible and I’m hooked. The charm that is Nashville has inspired lots of new and different “wants” as well as maintaining a desire to keep recording and playing with my bud, Jack Shawde. Gotta somehow keep the Band of Virgos in the loop too!  To quote my friend Suzie’s favorite saying, “I’m not gonna lie…” so far this shit’s been hard. At times I struggle and ask myself, “WTF I am doing?” On top of my own self-doubt and trepidations, we are living in a crazy-ass, soul-crushing world. So I’m keeping things simple and doing my best to maintain balance and breath by turning to the beautiful topography that surrounds me. Meaning, I hug a lot of trees.  It’s magnificently beautiful in Tennessee.  I have absolutely no clue what’s around the corner, but I’m gonna trust the wind that has brought me here and remain grateful for her deep breath. Stay tuned!
