And we love this town.
And we realize when we've left and gone somewhere else, how amazing and unique the keys are.
And so many people work their entire lives just to get down here.
And we were blessed to live here and grow up down here.
Being a keys kid is it's like a badge of honor that we all wear.
I love to be called a singer songwriter.
I pull from a lot of different influences, so I love folk and bluegrass music, but I also love top 40 country music as well.
I grew up with that and the songwriting, as well as looking up to women who played guitar and singing.
I feel like my style and why I do music is so much those influences in my life these days.
I definitely love to like, lean into the acoustic singer songwriter with some of like the more country flair, but I tend to play music from a variety of genres, so a little bit of everything is influenced.
In there we stand two ships.
I have a.
Lot of pride being from this town.
I love the keys.
I born and raised here, literally born on the island.
So I have so much pride saying I'm a conch.
It's such a unique, uh, community that supports art and music and expression.
There's no way I could be doing what I do without the support of the community and their love of live music, as well as the musician community that we have down here.
We have so many talented people who we all are all there for each other.
Being from here, I think has really taught me about who I am as a person and as a musician.
You know, you come to the keys, you got to slow down a little bit, take a look at the beautiful Paradise that's around you.
So I've learned to just be a laid back person as well as a laid back musician.
So I just try and enjoy myself, make sure everyone is relaxed, enjoying themselves as well when I perform.
Um.
The keys is an amazing, amazing place, which is what has kept me here.
You say I know something special when I see it.
I hope you meant me.
Your life changes.
It's.
And things don't go as planned.
Oh, what a discovery.
It's almost too.
Good.
I want it to be true.
Someone like you.
Only comes.
Once in.
A blue moon.
A blue moon.
So maybe the stars aligned.
And it was finally time.
I found.
You.
It was crazy how we stand.
Two ships from two lands would come to collide.
Cause on the sea there's storms and people fall overboard.
But you're by my side.
It's only.
Oh so good.
I wanted to be true.
Someone like you only.
Comes once in.
A blue moon.
I blow my.
So maybe the stars align.
And it was finally time.
I found you.
Oh.
I found you.
I found you.
Oh.
Down you.
I found you.
I found you.
I found you.
Like you found me to.
