I am here from Michigan and am excited about putting myself out there musically to test the waters of the music business while collaborating with others in the industry. After all of the years of playing and dabbling, I'm curious to know if I can do and learn whatever "this" is at this point in time of my life. I now have the confidence to finally see... Looking forward to meeting any and all of y'all!
