BACKSTAGE

Your access pass to the world behind my music

Backstage is where I explore the many corners of what inspires me — from gear and production to the artists who shaped me, the way our culture views music, and the countless topics I’m enthusiastic about. If it moves me or sparks curiosity, it’ll find its way here.

Here, I share the influences, creative moments, stories, and lessons that continue to shape my sound. Music brings both triumphs and tribulations, and it’s a life filled with unexpected, funny, and meaningful moments. Backstage is where I tell those stories.
