I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. My father and uncle are in the industry so from the time I could walk music has been a huge part of my life. I basically grew up in the studio. My first hands-on experience with music was when I was about eight years old and from then on I knew just what I wanted to do. I began to play guitar, drums, bass and especially piano. It wasn’t until I was about 14 when I really started writing and producing songs. It was only a year after that when I met Sean Forbes and from then on, the rest is history.
Like I mentioned before I was eight years old when I decided I wanted to do music after I got a drum set for Hanukkah.

If you could give a young musician/ actor advice based on your experiences so far, what would you recommend that he/she should do?
My advice for a young musician would be to research, study as much as you can, listen to as much as you can for as long as you can and as late as you can. That’s what I did every day and every night when I was younger and I still do it to this day.
What is the most craziest fan moment you/or your band have ever experienced?
Craziest moment for me was when we were in New York and I had a bunch of 15-year-old girls after me as if I was Channing Tatum, they were in love. They didn’t really care about Sean, it was creepy and weird and nuts!!!
What are your future plans?
My future plans are to continue living in the moment and enjoying every second. Life is short but there’s still a lot more music to be made and eventually I’d like to further my music into movies and tv.
