BIO/DESCRIPTION

Born in Saskatchewan, my prairie roots have a deep influence on my musical style and approach to performing. My father was a musician and inspired me at an early age. I got my start playing bass in the church choir and by the time I was ten, I was hooked on music, performing, and the art of storytelling.

Old country music greats like Buck Owens, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson were played in our humble family home relentlessly growing up. I’m drawn to modern artists that have the same gifts as these legends and aspire to tell stories and share experiences through music the way they did. Though I played music my whole life, it’s not until May of 2021 that I’ve been able to focus much of my time to this dream I’ve had since I was 10. If I can inspire one person with my music, I will have reached my goal.
