“Having grown up and lived “up north” for most of my life, I totally get exactly why people from northern states want to be in Florida during vacations and holidays - to unwind, decompress, and re-energize. I like to believe that my music can help with that. When I see smiling faces in the crowd, singing along with me, well…I know I am doing my job. It’s what I was built to do.”
