I think I have a game plan for my life... I'm going to travel around the United States! Often times throughout my life, my elders have implored me to travel. I'm certain you have been told the same thing. "You're so young, go see the world while you can!". I kind of have? I went on a nine day road trip from Seattle, Washington to Jacksonville, Florida back in 2020. I saw a lot on this trip. How... » Continue Reading
For context, last year I began to feel the Lord telling me to be closer to Him. I heard Him but was not confident that I heard Him correctly. So, I kept on the path that I was on. I have been playing concerts, recording an album, and socializing in a scene that most definitely goes against the word of God. Don't get me wrong, I have a fun time playing concerts. It is amazing how people come out to... » Continue Reading

For a bit over a year now I have been a devout follower of Christ. I strive to live a life that reflects the love of Jesus. However, I have been very conflicted. A lot of my music on Spotify does not reflect this. I censor my music when I perform live. I also censor songs I cover that have swear words (like that time someone called me "kidsbop mccafferty" on tiktok). However, I don't want to co » Continue Reading

I also have been learning to be a better partner for my girlfriend, reading our Bible's more consistently and setting healthy boundaries. And these things have made me really come to s... » Continue Reading
