Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been writing, performing, and recording music since I was 11 years old. I've tried to stop, but I can't. I hope it resonates with somebody out there.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
yes, wherever I can. I like it unless I'm not feeling well. All moments are special.
