I have been a touring singer/songwriter for more than a decade and have headlined venues across the US. My most recent single, "This Is Why I Need You", has been streamed more than 25 million times, and is currently in rotation on the Sirius/XM Coffeehouse Channel. I recently signed with Universal Music in Asia to release my new EP, which will come out in the US in June. I've had songs on TV shows such as One Tree Hill, Degrassi, Switched at Birth, and Teen Mom. I've sold out venues across the US, such as World Cafe Live Downstairs in Philadelphia, Highline Ballroom in NYC, Jammin Java in Vienna, VA, Eddie's Attic in Georgia, and Hotel Cafe in LA.

I also started an educational program for kids called The We Can Project, designed to encourage elementary and middle school students to give back to their communities and try new things. To date, more than 500,000 students have participated. I was also invited to perform on The Today Show to sing my song "We Can", that inspired the initiative.
