Why did I become an artist?
When I search my soul for songs, I find that my most authentic writing contains themes of courage, perseverance, and devotion.
For most of my life, I didn't see becoming an artist as a viable option for myself. My primary focus had always been music, but I chose the safer path of pursuing music education. Despite finding fulfillment in all aspects of my musical journey, there remained an inner longing to write, record, and perform. As I delved deeper into directing, my passion for performing only grew more prominent.
I've written hundreds of songs, many of which may never be shared. The ones I have shared publicly received overwhelmingly positive feedback, invoking within listeners feelings of hope, or faith, or love. This purposeful impact is why I identify as an artist.
