Biography

From the bedroom to the internet and beyond

I was born on August 8, 2002, in Bethesda, Maryland. I'm from the Washington DC area, if you wanna be picky about it I was raised on the Virginia side by a not-very-musical family, but man, when I entered high school and saw my first rock show, I knew I HAD to be in a band. I first picked up bass at 14, then guitar and drums at 15 thinking I'd find people to play with, but all that time spent learning about music sparked my songwriting and production journey. I and soon started dropping my own music in 2018, crappy little demos with my phone and an apple earbud mic.

I made Limelight and A Portrait of Daisies on my iPhone using Garageband for IOS while still in high school. After that I got a computer and some mics, made Fue, invested even more in the gear and production process, made Yeager, and moved to Boston for college, where I made Virginia, the first collection of songs where I really feel like my progress began to make something worth, well, something.

Once I was done figuring out my sound, I went to work recording my upcoming album Soil. I once again revamped my song-making process, honing down on what new things I wanted to try while retaining what makes my older songs so unique.

After very nearly losing the battle with depression I've since moved back to the DC area, and have been seen at open mics or working at the 9:30 Club. In that time I was able to finish ROCKING HORSE and post a few videos on social media here and there. In the meantime, I'm always working on music, and am always looking to lend an ear or instrument to local artists' tunes!

There's a few tracks that are exclusive to my Soundcloud, and scrapped/unreleased material is available here. Thanks for listening! :)
