Why I originally started writing and recording?
I didn’t start writing music because I wanted a career.
I started because I was scared that one day I might not be here.
And I wanted the people I love — like Frankie and Cliff — to always have something to fall back on when they miss me.
I wanted them to still hear my voice.
Somewhere along the way, those songs stopped being just emotional keepsakes…
and became my purpose.
Now every lyric is love that lasts longer than I do. 🩵🫶🏻
When I first started writing songs, it was purely an intimate act—a way to preserve my feelings and voice for those closest to me, like Frankie and Cliff. I never imagined these songs would resonate beyond my immediate circle, yet they've become much more than personal mementos. One moment that stays with me is when Bubba listened to the three main songs from my album released on Daddy's birthday. His emotional reaction, nearly bringing him to tears, made me realize the profound impact music can have—it connects us deeply and becomes a source of comfort even when we’re not physically present. Writing and recording evolved into a purposeful mission to leave love and memories behind. Lyrics not only tell stories but also carry the emotions and hopes I want to pass on. Music, in this sense, transcends time, offering those we care for a way to still hear our voice and feel our presence. This experience has taught me that music can be a powerful legacy, far beyond just entertainment or career aspirations. For anyone considering creative expression, remember that your art might hold profound meaning for others in ways you never anticipated. It became my way of assuring that love endures, even in absence—something truly worth sharing.
