My Story
I was once a former addict. Now sober 5.5 years. My mission is to inspire others through my music. Wanting to show that there's Still Hope for the lost soul struggling out there. I believe change is entirely possible to achieve. I want to break stigmas that still surround addiction and mental health in hopes to open a dialogue. More about my story here:
