It was such a blessing to get to found this new festival bringing Nashville indie music worldwide. This year, I hope to get the opportunity to do more gigs on the road and begin to branch out and spread my music across the world.

Fun Facts:
Do you have any pre-show rituals?
Normally my time before shows is spent pacing back and forth like a lion in a cage.
Aside from music, do you have any other aspirations?
Aside from music, I would say that the music business has become a strong passion of mine. Throughout my journey, I have also grown a passion for organizing live music events and festivals. I work to give independent artists a strong and fair performance platform to share their music as a woman under 20 in this industry. Despite this being uncommon, I work constantly to show others that age and gender does not hold you back from anything.
What is your favorite holiday and why?
My favorite holiday is Halloween. I have one sibling, a brother three years younger than me, and his passion is character concept design for spooky characters, so it has always been a major part of my life.
If you could have any guitar, what make/model would you like to add to your collection?
