Born in Japan and raised on the flats of Oklahoma, the artist’s nostalgia-evoking songs span across all genres, from singer-songwriter melodies to his recent embrace of alternative rock. Influenced by acclaimed acts like Bon Iver, Otis Redding, Kings of Leon, Gillian Welch, and Jason Isbell, he aims to be a crossroad of musical styles throughout his career. Currently residing on the Eastern coast, his musical journey started after nine years of active duty in the Navy. He released an acoustic album with his naval colleagues in a cozy airbnb in Jacksonville, Florida, leading to offers from major record labels across the country. Despite a brief continuation in the Navy, conflicting thoughts led to an honorable discharge for him to pursue his passion for music.
Transitioning from intimate 1,000-capacity venues to massive 70,000-capacity stadiums, the artist’s ascent as a songwriter has been meteoric. Building an impressive catalog in just four years, it is evident that he is set for a long and prolific career in music. His latest achievement was the release of his third studio album ‘The Great American Bar Scene’ on July 4th, 2024. Currently embarked on his final tour, the Quittin’ Time tour, he continues to captivate audiences with his soul-stirring compositions and captivating performances.
