From a very young age he would sing his favorite songs in the car, shower, kitchen, really anywhere he could.

After multiple attempts taking guitar lessons throughout his younger years, he picked up a friends guitar in 2015 and immediately fell into an obsession. He would spend hours each day playing and practicing through which he would cultivate his own unique sound. Over the next few years he would he would play for family and friends. With a push from them he started playing live gigs.
