“I moved to Memphis because, historically, it’s a town where people are passionate about music, and I wanted to take mine to the next level. Both my parents are musicians and I grew up singing in church and playing throughout high school, but I had no real musical identity until I came here. The influence of Memphis music has shaped my style into something I call soulful pop. I recorded my album Sweet Soul (released May 2015) at Royal Studios, where so many greats have recorded over the years, people like Al Green, Ike Turner, and Tina Turner. Memphis continues to have a huge impact on my music. Recently I was able to contribute a song, Nothing’s Missing, to the 2015 Musicians for Le Bonheur album. The CD was just released last week, and all the proceeds go to benefit the patients and families of Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital.”
