About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Defining myself after graduation

ABOUT ME

I just moved to Nashville to live the dream. Yeah.

I try to be a considerate person all the time.
Green's my favorite color.
I daydream to the point of embarrassment.
I hate bananas and monkeys (coincidence? I think not).
I'm very prone to blushing when embarrassed (or always)
I like to be uncomfortable, I think it makes me stronger.
I don't plan in advance well.
I listen to too much hip-hop and rap.
My eyes are hazel.

PHILOSOPHY

I honestly believe I was put on this earth to sing. There's nothing else I enjoy more, and I try to use every experience I have to make myself a more competent musician - whether that includes collecting stories for song writing, getting new music, or meeting other people who inspire me in some way.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jeff Buckley, Coldplay, Arcade Fire, Ryan Adams, Johnny Cash, Sufjan Stevens, Cursive, Damien Rice, Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, The Beatles, Amos Lee, Carole King, Dave Barnes, and so much more. Music's the thing that keeps me going, and basically the reason I live my life.

Movie-wise, I love Once, The Royal Tenenbaums, Pride and Prejudice, The Lion King, The Dark Knight, I'm Not There, Walk The Line, Beauty and the Beast, The Darjeeling Limited, Garden State, Little Women, and others.

I like books. Yep.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Big Blue Whale in Catoosa, OK. Damn.

Camped with 9 friends and a million ants in teepees in the Czech countryside. Bohemian Paradise - so true.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play guitar and sing, so I don't know, maybe I could teach you those things? Or we can play and sing together, which is even better.

Also, if you have a burning desire to learn a bit of Czech, I can teach that. Important words: pivo, voda, cestovat, krasny, dobře, špatne, jidlo...

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Nicaragua, Slovakia, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Czech Republic, United States
