My dad is the front of a Rock ‘n’ Roll band called the Black Cadillacs, playing classics from the 50’s such as Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis. My mum, got me into music such as Gloria Estefan and Michael Jackson and the best of the 80’s! What genre of music do you perform? My genre, I would describe as chilled acoustic with a mixture of Indie and Pop. I record all of my music in my home studio, although I am still learning music production and how to get the best sound from the equipment I use. Who or What inspired you to pursue a career in music?

I have followed his band around the country watching them perform, and seeing the fun that they have and the fan base, really made me realize I want to do that for a living.
