“A Warm Blanket And A Cup Of Tea”

Music was my life before I could even talk. I come from a long line of musicians, and by the time I was old enough to choose, I’d already gone from guitar to bass to drums, which became my go to instrument.

My first real song came out of a high school senior project, written during COVID about being stuck inside with nowhere to go. It got some attention I didn’t expect (The Eagle Tribune, NBC Boston), but the bigger thing that came out of it was getting a message from my first drum teacher, Reed, pulling me aside and telling me I had something worth chasing as a songwriter. Berklee had already been the dream for years, and Reed had pointed me toward Bob Gullotti, who I had studied under for a couple years before Berklee. Together, they really helped get me there. I didn’t go in planning to study songwriting, but once I switched into it, everything snapped into place, and I’ve been writing ever since.

I don’t love putting labels on what I make. Most of my songs are really about perspective, just life as I see it. My debut EP leans more toward love specifically, but I expect to keep pulling toward that bigger-picture perspective as I go. When a song really lands for me, it’s like that song and I are the only two things in the world, a connection nobody else has in the same way. I want that for whoever’s listening too. I’ve been told my voice sounds like a warm blanket and a warm cup of tea and that’s exactly the vibe I’m going for. Some of it will get you moving, but mostly, after the concert if you feel a little calmer, a little more like yourself, and if you had a meaningful connection to the music, I did my job right.
