I write real stories, fuse country and rock, and connect hearts through songs that heal, uplift, and stay stuck in your head.

Who will perform at the Global Citizen Festival, appear in Rolling Stone, and take home $50,000?
Who or what is your musical inspiration?
I draw inspiration from a wide range of artists. The Beatles made me pick up a guitar, and Paul McCartney pushed me to learn bass. I’ve always loved classic rock, but my modern influences include Keith Urban—his emotional lyrics really speak to me—along with Jelly Roll, Jason Aldean, and Kenny Chesney. Their storytelling, melodies, and raw honesty have helped shape my sound and the way I connect through music.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at the Global Citizen Festival would be a dream and a huge step in my career. It’s not just about the stage—it’s about using music to inspire change and bring people together. Sharing my songs on a platform with real global impact would elevate my voice and message, and connect me with a wider audience who believe in something bigger than just the music. It’s about purpose, not just performance.
What would you do with $50,000?
With $50,000, I’d invest in producing and promoting my music—better gear, studio time, and reaching more listeners. But honestly, I’d also find someone who needs it more than me. Whether it’s helping a struggling family, funding music programs for kids, or supporting mental health causes, I’d want part of it to go toward making a real difference in someone else’s life.
