A perfect experience is looking out over the crowd and seeing everyone watching and listening, knowing that they are there to hear you do what you love!

Not sure what drew me to this type of music, i write how i feel and just comes together and falls into place!

The song “Over the Edge” was written because of a friend of mine who was constantly struggling through life and understanding what exactly she should of been doing the whole time!
