Song writers and producers share a lot of similar passions turned obsessions. A lot of us are collectors of "gear" like microphones, instruments, and even different kinds of software for making music! Music has always been a part of my life but when I first started writing and recording songs, I was introduced into a world of like minded individuals who share that same interest. It goes beyond a hobby and is really a lifestyle. the thrill of coming up with a hook after hours days or even months of working with a line or a melody is second to none. Like many of us, I play over a dozen instruments and i'm always looking to learn more!

I was raised as a member of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. when I was a member we were called mormons. Sometime during the pandemic my family and I left the church and it was one of the hardest decisions we have ever made in life. The way we found our way through the pain of it all was in the community that embraced us after leaving known as ex-mos or ex mormons. through personal stories and empathy shared, I was able to make new friends and strong bonds as well as find peace and new meaning in my personal life journey. ex-mo culture isn't about tearing down others' faith. It is about healing from one's own traumas as well as finding new purpose and community in life absent of a giant community and purpose left behind.

democratic socialism as a culture is one that believes that communities are strengthened when they work together as a team rather than individuals in a race. in our country, it represents the desire for a more equitable society rather than just "equal". the difference being that everyone has an equal right to get a job and get health insurance but that doesn't mean that everyone is capable. an equitable approach would mean everyone gets healthcare because they are human and are deserving of good health no matter the circumstance. It has influenced who I have become and has helped me see the world differently with optimism for the future. It has made me believe that everyone deserves happiness in their lives not just those who make more money. because lets face it: if we were all millionaire business moguls, who would be left to run the grocery stores or hospitals or police stations or etc etc etc.
