Biography

Hi! 
 I’m so honored that you’ve made your way here. 
 In early college, I worked as a camp counselor just outside of Yosemite National Park. Strangers became my dearest friends in just weeks, and we made it a frequent habit to set out on nearby trails past dark. Walking steadily for hours with just the light of the moon, we’d settle into a rhythm maintained by the sound of our footsteps and an occasional river. We’d lie down, far from the world but closer to it than ever. I can’t help but take a huge breath as I look up at the Milky Way. In this moment I feel alive, and more aware of how precious that is. 
 I strive to make songs that sound like how those nights felt. 
 I believe in music’s universal ability to make us all feel our most human. The more human we feel, the more gratitude we’ll have for the short time we’ve all got together. 
 I promise to use music to make more tangible the urgency of environmentalism, equality, mental health awareness, and social justice. 
 I trust you to hold me to these priorities and to demand music that reflects them. 
 I hope my music is a worthy soundtrack to your drives through the mountains, your days home alone, your celebrations, and your times of sadness. 
 I hope that my songs compel you to spend more nights under the stars. 
 I hope they resonate with you, but also challenge you and spur questions and growth. 
 I hope that my songs are of great use to you.
