About Me

In 2013, I left my small Florida hometown to pursue a journalism degree at Seattle University. Shortly after making this decision, my real passion surfaced: music production. Being around such a vibrant culture where it was common to see people at concerts on a Monday night was really inspiring. I soon began an instrumental hip hop project inspired by artists I saw in the city such as Ryan Hemsworth, TNGHT, Hucci, Kaytranada and many many others.

In 2019 I embarked on my first solo journey outside of the US to the beautiful city of Medellin. Since then I have been to several other Latin American countries as well as many countries in Europe. I strive to learn something new everyday and music and travel is a great way to cultivate this. I’m also passionate about skateboarding 🛹
