Q&A


Who or what is your musical inspiration?

Musically I've been inspired by the timeless classic rock songwriters I grew up listening to. Beatles, Dylan, Petty, Springsteen, Croche, Simon, Vedder, Taylor, etc...the list is long. I draw from personal experience for the most part in my own songwriting, and look at the work I've done as an autobiography of sorts.


How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?

It would give me the exposure and connections I would need to potentially pursue being a musical artist full time.


What would you do with $50,000?

Place a down payment on a home. One where I could build out a home-studio.
