Biography
St. Martinville is as Cajun as it gets, a tiny town in south Louisiana. Growing up there, I learned to work hard, to play hard, and the necessity of music. My songs are like journal entries, socumenting the little t truths I've stumbled upon during 10 years of moving around the deep South. They are playful, intense, cerebral and emotive. After 15 years of playing and writing music, I'm just now starting to say what I mean in a manner that feels honest. I hope it's relatable and challenging.
