About
From Phoenix to Nashville — a life lived in lyrics.
Originally from Phoenix, Arizona, I moved to Nashville at twenty-four and have proudly called Tennessee home ever since. I come from a large family of nine children — the second oldest, and the eldest girl — and that table of voices is where I first learned to listen.
For nearly fifteen years I've worked in public service, in Health and Human Services and previously as a contractor for Child Protective Services. Songwriting has always been my way through it — a vast collection of poems and songs about real-world life, the kind that doesn't always rhyme with romance, but always carries love.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Answers to the things artists, labels, and listeners ask most often.
Yes — most of my catalogue is available for licensing to artists, films, and commercials. Reach out through the contact form with details and I'll respond within a few days.
Absolutely. Whether it's a wedding, a tribute, or an artist commission, I love writing to a brief. We'll start with a short call so I can hear the story.
Country is my home, but I write comfortably across folk, Americana, singer-songwriter, and the occasional crossover pop ballad. Most of my work is rooted in real life.
Yes — full custom demo creation, from scratch vocal-and-guitar references to fully arranged tracks built with trusted Nashville collaborators.
Most commissions land between three and six weeks — that covers our initial call, a first draft, one revision pass, and a polished acoustic demo. Rush timelines are possible when the calendar allows.
Every project is quoted individually based on scope — songwriting only, full demo, licensing terms, or commemorative pieces. Share a few details in the contact form and I'll send a clear, itemized estimate.
Often. I love a co-write that starts with a strong title or a true story. If you have an idea you've been carrying around, bring it — we'll build the room around it.
