How the Gift of Music Became Epic Love

At eighteen, I began my songwriting journey with my dad’s old Guild guitar. By twenty-one, I celebrated with a brand-new HD35 Martin guitar, marking a leap from my humble Ozark beginnings.

​

As a young adult, life brought challenges and trauma. Playing guitar and writing songs became my way of coping with PTSD and finding solace in God’s love. Music was my refuge, helping me navigate a broken and confusing world.

​

Bonfire nights with friends, strumming and singing, are cherished memories, yet often, I crafted songs in solitude. Encouraged by my best friend, Buck, from Nashville's music scene, I overcame my doubts and embraced my calling. A transformative moment came in spring 2022 when I penned love songs for Jesus, and He responded to me with one of His own, which I titled "Epic Love."

​

With renewed purpose and a desire to share what I’d been given with others, I collaborated with producer Pat Holt at Midtown Sound Studios in Nashville to create a twelve-song album. I journeyed to the wilderness of the San Juan mountains in Colorado to shoot footage for my first video, embracing the adventures and beauty that shaped my music and helped transform my own pain into healing and hope.
