Which artist has influenced you the most – and how?
It’s hard to pick just one, but the artist that I bring up most consistently is Tyler Childers. He was the first person where I realized how much lyrics mean to people and how much they meant to me. His way with words and how often he pushes his sound to be sonically different with each new project.
What has been the best advice you’ve received in your career so far?
The best career advice I have received so far is to not compare yourself to any other artist and to realize that everyone is on their own timeline. No need to stress about the things you cannot control.
What’s your favorite memory from being on stage?
My favorite memory currently was the last show of my first headline tour. I was so sick during the show and felt so many different emotions, but I was mainly relieved that I had made it through my my first tour. Tour has so many highs and lows, so I was just grateful to get through it.
Since food and music go so well together, what is your dream pairing of a meal and a musician?
Stroopwafels and Jim Croce
What is a genre, album, artist, musician, or song that you adore that would surprise people?
I love Olivia Rodrigo, I think she is the greatest.
