What is the last album you listened to?

If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Alison Krauss and Union Station – and definitely Chris Stapleton.

What is your ultimate career goal(s)?

To change people’s lives through the power of words and music! To leave a legacy for my family to be proud of! To be unique enough to stand out from the rest and to ultimately give God the glory for all of the above.
