He has found a way to return to his childhood roots of growing up on a farm listening to the old country greats. He challenges his audience to find their own truth in his music, while taking them on a journey through his mind. "I love writing music that is about my life and the situations I have been through. Blisteringly honest and at times translucently personal, my music will give you the opportunity to see right through to my core."
