Musical Aspirations:  
I’ve been singing since I learned to talk, and my parents had great taste in music. I
grew up with a lot of Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull and Black Sabbath. This exposure to
amazing music along with a natural love for singing and parents who embraced the
musician’s lifestyle really shaped the way that I write music, and live today. I hope to
make Estrum a full time endeavor very soon, since it is so important to me. I love being
on the road, and dream of touring a lot and seeing the world. I want to reach people all
over the world with our music, and connect with them through my lyrics and voice, even
if I never get to meet them.
