Check out Tidal Wave here!
What is the bands favorite song to play live?
FIRE has been my favorite to play live because people actually sing the chorus with me!  FIRE, FIRE, NOBODY COULD TAKE ME HIGHER, HIGHER!  It’s so fun and I’ve even had multiple shows where the fans have asked for it twice and that always feels good.

New Releases?
I just came out with TIDAL WAVE - a super club friendly but very meaningful track I wrote about an ex that changed my life. It was about how I feel the love wash over me like a TIDAL WAVE... but am saying goodbye. Added to a big beat and premiered by Wonderland, I think it’s my best track yet! Though I’m looking forward to what’s next too...

What is one cause that the band is passionate about?
I want to spread awareness about mental health. Long term, I’d love to be sharing my experience of depression and how I cured myself of social anxieties and also what doctors labeled as “bi polar” in my early 20s. I’ve been off medication for over 10 years with no adverse side effects due to meditation and yoga and I want people to know that there are natural ways to heal yourself and you don’t need to self medicate (though I am a believer in therapy and whatever does truly work for the individual at the time). I guess you can say that I just don’t want people to feel alone in their struggles... and that’s also embedded in a lot of the stories I tell in my music (especially my album HOLY HEAT coming out in April).

Anything you would like our followers to know?
The one thing I want to sign off saying is... first of all, thank you... but also... with everything going on in the world, it’s okay to feel your feelings. And if you need some help through the challenging times... find inspiration. Watch YouTube videos. Turn up some music on full blast and dance it out. Ask a friend for help. Know you’re not alone and that we’re all going through this thing called life together. Figuring it out one step at a time and it doesn’t need to be perfect... cause that’s actually where the deepest beauty is found.
