​Music means the world to me. It is my life, love, passion, and bliss.

Music has the power to connect me to the core of my being while transcending me to a realm beyond myself. It is through the depth of music that I feel intertwined with a greater state of consciousness. My journey with music has allowed me to explore my vulnerabilities and shed layers of my fears and doubts. In return, music has opened the door to a world of gratitude, purpose, and spiritual growth.  

​In today’s world of comfort and distraction, an active and conscious effort is needed to realize our true dreams and passions. Picking up the guitar and quitting video games/TV is the best decision I have ever made in my life. When I was 17, I decided to transform my daily Fortnite addiction into my greatest purpose by learning a skill I had no prior experience with. Hours of screen time and unfulfilling dopamine rushes cocooned into my holy everyday practice of learning, exploring, and expressing through the guitar. This practice has awakened a profound passion within me that has led me to break the barriers of one of my biggest insecurities.

​Singing used to be my greatest fear – at times I could not bring myself to sing even if I was alone in my room. The fear of my voice being heard by family and friends inhibited me from my own self-expression. However, the guitar showed me that a disposition towards love and growth, coupled with persistence and practice, can overcome those strong feelings of self-doubt. Though I still battle with subconscious self-doubt and judgment around my voice today, I can happily and wholeheartedly sing in front of hundreds of people, and I have the guitar to thank for that.

​I’m now 22 years old and I am eternally grateful for all that I have been able to accomplish in 5 years. I’ve played around 60 live shows, started multiple bands, and shared the love and power of music with so many people. The path has not always been easy. I sounded like shit for a good while, but my commitment to my discipline every day has contributed to my growth as an artist.

​There is an abundance of musical memories I hold near and dear to my heart, but the most outstanding sunbeams of passion and overwhelming love have come from Dead Set’s annual sunset mountain shows. The whole band puts on a free show above the ocean, hitching our equipment up the mountains for an unforgettable night under the stars. The show attracts the presence of hundreds of radiant brothers and sisters in an appreciation for the love of life, music, nature, and each other. Gazing under the wonder of all earthly elements, dancing under the full moon, smiles shining so brightly, soulful music, and eternal love – it brings upon us a swell of emotion and intimacy, propagated by a wave of creativity. A symphony of love.

​It’s my constant endeavor to find and spread this magic that music grants us. Those moments in which music serves as a vehicle, driving us to transcend our realities and to break through our attachments. I like to call it “unity consciousness” – when we’re at a concert and we break through the everyday bullshit of the ego to blend into an expansive collective of joy and bliss. Sharing the gift of music is my favorite feeling in the world, I am so in love with the whole experience.

​I have learned that being passionate is about following our hearts and doing what we love before what someone else loves for us. It takes discipline and sacrifice to say no to other opportunities that arise, but that allows us to be able to fully say yes to the things that set our lives and hearts on fire.

​I feel so lucky to have found a community of synergy filled with people who encourage me to cultivate this vision of love day in and day out. The UNTAMED YOUTH, the ones that full-heartedly and fearlessly pursue their passions as the utmost priority in their lives. I dearly love, thank, and encourage you all to push even deeper, so that I may as well. With Love and fire.
