My home is in the blue ridge mountains of Asheville, NC. Most of my songs are for fans of Alt Country, Folk, and heart on the sleeve Singer/Songwriter. I've been told my lyrics can be a healing balm from the daily struggle because of the honest lyrics that come from a personally deep reverence, causing some to even tear up at my live shows . This upcoming EP, "The Sun is Setting" will be releasing on October 31st and this project is a darker sound/direction than previous releases. I found myself facing personal demons that I've been experiencing for a long time now. After finding some space for healing, therapy and self love these 4 songs came out of that place. I hope you find some light, hope and healing despite the dark days ahead, friend.

I've been writing songs for over 10 years now. First as a folk singer under the moniker, Ramblin' Pan where I traveled across the country singin' my lil heart out at coffee shops and dive bars from 2010-2016. I was also a finalist at the 2022 LEAF Singer-Songwriter Competition, a collaboration between NewSong Music and LEAF Global Arts, and the 2022 NewSong Music Performance & Songwriting Competition. My last EP album, "Happily Ever After" was released under the music label NewSong Music Recordings headed by Gar Ragland at Citizen Vinyl Studios.
