Tell us about your road to Nashville.
I’ve been singing from the time I could talk! So growing up I did talent shows and musicals. I ended up going to college in Indiana and within the first month knew that I was in the wrong place and that I needed to be in Nashville to do what I love. With my parent’s blessing, I moved down to Nashville after my freshman year, and have been writing and performing ever since!
What do you feel are some important things you have learned in the music industry?
You definitely need to be strong in this business because nothing is promised and you can get really hurt. This town has definitely matured me.
Who are your top 3 influences and how did they shape you as an artist?
My number one is Bruce Springsteen and has been since I was little. I just love his songwriting and his stage presence, so I try to take that with me through my career. I also love the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac. I strive to get to that level of songwriting some day!
What is the best way to start the day?
I usually like to have a breakfast bar and workout. It really gets my brain moving early morning when I go for a run.
We are always developing recipes here at Southern Fellow. When writing music what recipe do you use?
I usually tend to have a few hooks when I walk into the write, and my cowriters and I will throw out those hooks and see if any stick. Then I like to get the chorus down, and then do the verses for storytelling and furniture.
What is special about the place you grew up?
I love where I grew up because for the majority of the time it’s kinda slow-paced, but at the same time I grew up 45 minutes from New York City, so if we wanted some excitement, we’d take the train in!
