When I write for Autumn Kings, I am the artist. But when I’m helping write and produce for other artists or TV shows, I am no longer in the driver’s seat. It is not about me. I am there to be a creative vessel to help my collaborators realize their full potential.
My goal is to connect with people on a level beyond superficial hype. I put blood, sweat, and tears into every note of every song and hopefully it resonates.
