About Me

My earliest connection to music came from watching my siblings dance performances. I learned that music isn’t just sound, it’s movement, color, and spirit. That passion grew in High School when I started banging beats on the cafeteria lunch table for my friends to freestyle over, feeling the community and energy that music can create. Inspired by artists like Jon Bellion, Nothing But Thieves, Daniel Caesar, and James Taylor, I began reverse-engineering songs and teaching myself how to turn raw ideas into full productions.

​

Since then, I’ve produced and written across pop, R&B, folk, and indie, helping artists craft songs that feel both authentic and commercially strong. I’ve worked at Quad City Studios in New York and Artist Mill International, supporting sessions and learning the craft from the inside out. At Elon University, I served as President of Limelight Records, leading a student-run label where I helped artists take risks, share ideas, and grow authentically.

​

Now based in Nashville, I bring that same artist-first mindset to every project as a producer and songwriter. My focus is on creating songs with honesty and soul, while helping artists develop their sound and their careers.
