Like most musicians who had a childhood dream of becoming a rockstar, getting older forced me to deal with the harsh realities of life and led me to a crossroads.

I wanted to abandon my musical path to become a "responsible" adult and lost sight of the true power of music and what role it has to play in my life.

After deep reflection and performing for more people, I've come to realize how I can still make a meaningful impact.

I know I can't save the world but I've witnessed how sharing my music can uplift people and help them feel better.

Small things like a friend saying he had a bad day at work and felt better after the show. 

Or an older gentlemen getting up to slow dance with his wife in the middle of a restaurant and thanking me at the end.

While it may not (yet) be the stadiums and arenas I've dreamt of as a lonely and awkward teenager, it's something precious and real with a powerful ripple effect.

I'm not sure where I'll end up, but I like where I'm going right now.

Are you with me?
