SINGER / SONGWRITER
Just a singer/songwriter from Atlanta with a story to tell.
She Ain't You
WRITTEN FALL, 2015
“
I wrote this song after a really tough breakup in 2015. This is the story of my first experience waking up next to a stranger that wasn’t her. I have a feeling a whole lot of y’all have been there too.
​
"It ain't me and it ain't her,
It's part of everything you were.
And if you want to know, I'll tell you true.
Her only problem is She Ain't You."
Tonight
WRITTEN JANUARY 31, 2016
“
I wrote this song about a first kiss in 2016 with a woman so far out of my league I had no business having a first kiss with her.
It's called Tonight.
​
“Tonight,
I can tell by the light in your eyes that you're mine.
The way those fireflies
Dance around like stars in the sky in the springtime.
​
Love is in the air.
I feel your heartbeat pulsing with mine as we lay here.
As I lean in to you,
I hold my breath and you hold yours too.”
Down The Line
WRITTEN NOVEMBER - DECEMBER, 2020
I wrote the first half of Down The Line when I was living with a woman I thought I was going to marry. What began as a song I wanted to use to propose to her turned into the song that helped me realize she wasn’t right for me. This song isn’t for her. It’s for the woman out there I hope to meet one day who will love me as unconditionally as I love her.
​
“Be my lover, be my woman
And I’ll give to you my life.
I can’t promise you the world,
But girl, I promise that I’ll try.”
​
Meet My Child
WRITTEN DECEMBER 30, 2020
“
For my niece, Elizabeth, and the children I hope to have one day.
​
"Cause you're my everything,
My wildest dreams come true.
There ain't anything
I wouldn't do for you.
​
I hope that I can be
The man you need
And always lean on to.
Cause if I could, I would give the world to you.
Helping Hand
WRITTEN APRIL 7, 2021
“
At one point or another, we all need help. This song is about my journey to recognizing and admitting to myself that I needed help too. Shoutout to my friends, family, and Dr. J for being my Helping Hand.
​
"Cause I've been tryin', but I know now
That I need a helping hand
So that I can find my footing,
So that I can be a man."
Last First Kiss
WRITTEN MAY 12, 2021
“
This song is for my last first kiss, whoever she may be.
​
"When our lips met for the first time,
In that moment we both realized
It was the Last First Kiss of our lives.”
Four Chords &
A Six String
WRITTEN MAY 23 - 26, 2021
I wrote this song because I wanted a tune that could take me back to Georgia whenever on the road and I’m feeling homesick.
​
It’s silly, it’s whimsical, but it’s real. When I close my eyes, the South is where I want to go. This song takes me there.
"Give me four chords and a six string,
That's all I need
To take me back to where I call my home.
Where those sweet southern pines
Are keepin' Georgia on my mind.
When I close my eyes
That's where I wanna go."
I Don't Wanna
Say Goodbye
WRITTEN JUNE 24-25, 2021
“
In this song, the lyrics say it all.
"I don’t wanna say goodbye
I don’t wanna cry tonight
I just wanna hold you tight
And make love until the morning.
I don’t wanna reach our end,
I don’t wanna play pretend,
Cause you mean more to me
Than I ever realized
I could feel for someone else
And girl that’s why
I don’t wanna say goodbye."
I Would Swear
WRITTEN JUNE 28, 2021
This song is about one of the most memorable nights I’ve ever had…that I barely remember. Shout out to Tin Roof Nashville for setting the scene.
​
“I would swear if I’d been sober
That the moment that I did
Every other woman in the bar
Disappeared up in the wind.
And the only one left standing,
Only one that stood a chance
In my heart was walking over
To my friends. I’ll be G-ddamned.”
“
Arrow To My Heart
WRITTEN JUNE 28, 2021
“
As the saying goes, “the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” So too does love. The moment I thought I had it all figured out, someone came along and showed me that I didn’t have a clue. She shot an Arrow To My Heart that changed everything.
​
“Cause it ain’t easy loving me.
Girl, I know the pain that I can sometimes be.
But I swear to you my love is true.
Like an arrow to my heart, it’s through and through."
Can't Write The Script
WRITTEN JULY 19, 2021
I don’t fall easy, but when I do I fall fast and hard. When that happens, I do the only thing I know how to do – I write the script in my head and I start sprinting. It’s gotten me in trouble more than once.
​
I wrote Can’t Write The Script as my way of acknowledging that love takes two; that no matter how well intentioned you think you are, no matter how much you care, it’s all irrelevant if your partner doesn’t feel the same way.
​
“Cause when it comes to love,
The only thing I know for sure is this:
You can feel it in your heart,
But you can never write the script."
Write You A Song
WRITTEN AUGUST 8 - 14, 2021
“
I wrote this song about finding that person you’d do anything for. When logic and reason are no longer part of the equation and all you can think about is whether or not there’s anything you can do to make them love you back.
​
“I wish that I could write you a song,
Sweep you off your feet
And into my arms.
Take your breath with every word I sing,
Because darling,
You mean everything to me."
​

Baby, Please Don't Go
WRITTEN SEPTEMBER 2 - 3, 2021
This past September, I watched a couple struggle to say goodbye just before the security line at the JFK airport in New York City. I don’t know if they were parting ways for a week, a month, or forever, but it struck a chord.
​
It made me think about all the times over the years I’ve had to say goodbye to someone I loved, especially when neither one of us wanted to part ways.
I’m stronger for it now, but this song is everything I wanted to hear in those moments. It’s called “Baby, Please Don’t Go”.
​
“Cause when it comes to love,
The only thing I know for sure is this:
You can feel it in your heart,
But you can never write the script."
Want Me Around
WRITTEN SEPTEMBER 4, 2021
“
For the past 10 years, I’ve lived out of a suitcase. I’ve said goodbye to loved ones more times than I ever wanted to, and will continue to do so for work. It’s what I do, and I love doing it. Doesn’t make it easy though.
​
Last September, I saw a couple saying a tearful goodbye at JFK airport and I knew I had to turn those feelings into a song. That night I wrote “Baby, Please Don’t Go” from the perspective of the person getting left behind. The next day, I wrote this song from the perspective of the person doing the leaving.
​
“But I would end it all now,
I'd pack it up and settle down
If you would just tell me you want,
You want me around.
