I grew up in the Deep South, where music was woven into everyday life. Before I was even old enough to start school, I remember the hum of jukeboxes in local bars, spinning old-school country classics. On weekends, the air was filled with the sounds of front porch jam sessions—neighbors and local musicians gathering to play late into the night, keeping alive the deep-rooted traditions of bluegrass, blues, and Southern gospel. These melodies, passed down through generations, became the soundtrack of my childhood. Today, I write and play music that echoes that rich heritage, blending the soulful sounds of the South into a style uniquely my own.
