We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Ooooh No.. I hit hardships like everyone else. Emotional RollerCoasters not knowing if I’m doing the right steps or trusting the right people, trying to make ends meet to pay bills and music, I even one day drove all the way to Austin to perform and found out I can’t perform with my band because the crowd might not be “ready” to see me perform ( if you get what I mean). I even had one show in Anahuac Texas where the sound didn’t care for people who look like me so he did my sound so bad on stage.. had my mic so low the fiddle player was louder than me. All I say in my head to keep me going is “I want to make people happy with my music and to hear and see me. I want to prove to myself I can become one of the greats the help others along the way who wants to be like me.” That’s my motivation to stay on this un-smooth road.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am an Artist/Entertainer, I am more than just a Country Singer. I love to put on a show when I’m on stage and also try new things as in auditioning & acting in plays. I also love working out a lot. People know for country music and health. The most thing I’m proud of is when I took the chance and audition for the theater play little shop of horrors, I was nervous out my mind trying to remember lines and I went in there and was like I can only get a yes or no so give it all. Lol.

How do you think about happiness?
What makes me Happy is able to breathe, like example seeing my work and practicing get put to use. What also makes me happy spending time with my horse Dolly and my dog Brodie Lee, the personalities between them two is funny and they actually put smiles on my face when I’m down.
