I love performing, and you can get a glimpse of that in my video and audio clips; however, what you may not see is how much I love to interact with people. I enjoy making new friends, I love talking with customers and guests, and I find it easy to do so. I especially like working with younger people. It is my mission to serve as a positive role model in all that I do. I make an effort to gain crowd engagement, and I don't mind sharing the stage if someone wants to perform a song or two (with the host's permission of course). While I don't mind playing cover songs, my originals tend to be my fan favorites, so if you are looking for something different, we could set up an evening of original music. My main goal is to help everyone relax and have an enjoyable evening.

I've had a passion for music my entire life. As the daughter of a performing artist, I spent a lot of time watching my mother write, record, and perform at festivals and churches. This early exposure to the local music scene started my love affair with songs and how they tell stories, so I began singing as early as age four. At first, I sang with my mother, but by age seven, I started scheduling my own shows. I also began writing my own songs. Karaoke tracks quickly turned into piano lessons, middle school band, voice lessons, and guitar class. I began competing in local, district, and state singing competitions, and I became a Georgia 4-Her in the Performing Arts Vocal project. I was also selected to be a member of the prestigious Clovers & Co. Performing Arts Group which boasts alumni like Jennifer Nettles and Hillary Lindsey. I usually play around sixty shows a year throughout the southeastern region, and I'd love to come to a town near you!

In addition to that, people always ask me what I'm doing in Nashville, so let me share a little of that with you. I've completed a songwriting mentorship with Barbara Cloyd, open mic host at the Bluebird Cafe, and I've recorded an EP with Nashville producer, Bill McDermott. I've studied voice with the legendary Renee Grant-Williams, and I'm also a member of the Music Industry Syndicate, which is an artist development program ran by Rick Barker, former manager of Taylor Swift and recent American Idol and Big Machine Label Group Consultant. I look forward to continuing my work in Nashville as I expand my touring throughout the United States. This work, with the support of my awesome friends and family, has earned me two nominations for Georgia-Country Teen Artist of the Year and three nominations for a GA Music Award. I recently won the GA Music Award for Youth Country/Rock, so as you can see, exciting things are happening!

I'm thankful every day for the opportunities and fan support that have allowed me to pursue my dream of being a country music singer-songwriter, and I look forward to seeing you on the road! Thanks for visiting my Gig Salad page!

I am a minor, so I will be accompanied by a manager to all shows.
