2020

RETURNING TO MY ROOTS

2020 is probably a year none of us will forget. The COVID pandemic changed so many facets of our lives. In October of that year, I was called back to my roots. It’s like I came full circle back to the family business – that 9-5 job I had left 2006 to start on this musical adventure. I put the music on hold to return to TX to run the family business and save it from ruin at the hands of my father’s named successor. I had been gone almost 15 years and honestly it felt like coming home. We released one last project – “Thrills & Ill” – somewhat a quick musical journey through the ups and downs of life. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to follow my dreams. Grateful for every song crafted and every fan we met along the way.
