Hard work and nonstop improvement of my craft as an artist. There’s always something new I want to learn or something I find in my playing that needs to be perfected. Constant growth has brought me here.

I find inspiration in my day by day. Everyone who I meet or anything that I hear becomes a potential idea for a new song. It’s something that never really stops. I have come up with songs in the middle of a hang in a different city. It’s not uncommon for someone to see me record a melody on my phone at any given time.
