THIS WASN'T THE PLAN BUT HERE I AM. MAKING NOISE.
About
I SPENT MOST OF MY LIFE SINGING WHERE NOBODY COULD HEAR ME. NO MORE, I'MMA BE LOUD.
I STARTED LOSING MY HEARING AT 13 AND WAS PROFOUNDLY DEAF BY 37. AFTER RECIEVING BILATERAL COCHLEAR IMPLANTS, I REDISCOVERED MUSIC IN WAYS I NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE. STILL, IT WAS SOMETHING I MOSTLY KEPT TO MYSELF.
THAT CHANGED IN MY 40'S. IN THE FALL OF 2023, A FRIEND INVITED ME TO SING AT GRIFFIN'S PINT IN MORRIS, ILLINOIS. I WAS TERRIFIED. I DID IT ANYWAY THOUGH AND I WAS HOOKED.
SINCE THEN I'VE THROWN MYSELF INTO LEARNING: VOCAL TRAINING, SONG WRITING, PERFORMING AND EVENTUALLY, GUITAR. I PICKED ONE UP FOR THE FIRST TIME IN JANUARY 2026. THREE MONTHS LATER I WAS ON STAGE AT A LOCAL OPEN MIC.
I'M STILL LEARNING. STILL WRITING. STILL GETTING BETTER. I'M ALSO MAKING THE MUSIC I SPENT MOST OF MY LIFE BELIEVING I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO MAKE.
