Join Me As I Take You Behind The Music!
Every week I take my listeners behind the music. I show the creative process behind my songs – where the ideas come from and how I create my tunes. I show my struggles and victories as a freelance musician as well.
This is a very personal experience in which I bare my soul as an artist. I show not only what has worked for me but some of the big mistakes feel I’ve made in my music career and what it’s like to try make a living as an independent musician.

Self – appointed Political Expeert
“Everyone’s an expert… at least according to themselves.”
Inspired by the endless stream of celebrities, actors, and talking heads confidently explaining the world to the rest of us, Self-Appointed Political Expert takes a playful jab at loud opinions delivered as unquestionable truth. This isn’t a political manifesto — it’s a wry, sarcastic look at the culture of overconfidence and performative outrage.
Driven by crunchy guitars and a big, catchy hook, the song blends power-pop and pop-punk energy with a wink and a smirk. Equal parts fun and frustration, it’s meant to make you laugh — especially if you’ve ever rolled your eyes at someone explaining politics like they cracked the code.
nfluences: Fountains of Wayne, Bowling For Soup, Green Day, The Cars.
