What project(s) are you currently working on?

I’m working on a Christian Country project with NewStep Records.

What inspired you to pursue a career in music and when did you know?

I absolutely love being up on stage performing, always great to sing in front of small or large. 7th grade I missed the school bus and my Choir teacher heard my interesting voice come out when I was talking to the Principal about missing my voice and to make a long story short I ended up sing “Blue Christmas” by Elvis at a Christmas recital for our school choir program.

If you weren’t pursuing a career in music, what would you be doing for a living?

Well now I’m an 18 year old and a Senior in High School so most like trying to figure out what I want to do in life.

What is your favorite downtime activity?

Away from the singing we have a farm with a few head of cattle but I also barrel race with my horses, a timed event where you turn 3 barrels and whoever keeps the barrels up and is the fastest win!
