My whole life has been surrounded by music. Born a singer and performer I grew up living and breathing 90's Country music and the Theater. As I got older, I decided to move to the city to try and achieve my dreams in Musical Theater, at the Chicago College of Performing Arts, but I grew tired of that dream and, found love in Pop/Dance music with the rise of incredible women in the genres in the late 00's and 10's. Although I try my best to keep up with Pop music to this day, the genre grew away from me.

​

All along the way I always loved Country music, but I hadn't been bit by the Country bug. Then in 2022 I visited The Grand Ole Opry! I will never forget the video at the beginning of the tour. I was moved to tears and my heart just exploded with excitement. I knew I had found my home. Everything changed in my life from that day forward. 

​

Now you could say this is just a phase, but after 3 years of digging deeper and deeper into the genre as a whole I know that's not true. Country Music is an expansive genre with many styles. I gel with Pop Country, Traditional Country, Rock Country, Outlaw Country, Country Folk, Bluegrass, and even more. I am fascinated with the genres many styles. My childhood growing up in a small town with big city dreams fits well within Nashville. One thing I found in Country music that was missing in all the genres of music I have studied, was how it delivers your soul constant refreshment. So, intern, I fell in love with Country Music, Nashville, and the tradition of Country Music. As Carly Pearce would say, "Country Music Made Me Do It"!​

​

I want to personally thank THE HIGHWAY on Sirius XM Radio, for helping me to feel like I had a home in Country Music. Don't worry I still stream and listen to the TOP 30 and ON THE HORIZON. Now I expand even further to other Country stations on Sirius XM, but whenever I need to jam you're my GO TO! Any of you NEW FANS need a place to grow in knowledge listen to the station!!
