What initially inspired you to pursue a career in music?
I come from a family full of musicians and music teachers! Music has always been an enormous part of my life, and I never imagined doing anything else.
Can you share a memorable moment from your musical journey that has had a significant impact on you?
I went to college to study classical violin, but standing in my first day of Bluegrass Ensemble class, I knew I was supposed to be fiddlin'!
What influences have shaped your style of music?
I was a classical violinist for almost twenty years, but ended up with a degree in Bluegrass Fiddle and even studied Celtic fiddle in Ireland. After that I played in a number of country and rock bands. So, my style is a little bit of everything!
If you could create a soundtrack for any historical event, which one would it be and why?
I think I would pick the first flight by the Wright Brothers. It was an inspiring moment and deserves an inspiring soundtrack.
If you could teleport to any concert in history, which one would you attend and why?
I would see the Beatles perform on the Ed Sullivan show. That performance changed music forever.
If you could collaborate with any artist, living or deceased, who would it be and why?

What's the most memorable feedback or reaction you've received from a fan?

How did your collaboration with Plunge Audio begin?
I connected with Plunge Audio on social media when I was looking for new IEMs. I have smaller ears, and have always struggled to find in-ears that are comfortable for my entire set. Plunge helped me find a pair that fit like a dream!
What specific features do you look for when choosing IEMs for your performances?
For me, size and comfort are the most important. Being pain free helps me focus on the performance and the fans.
What advice would you give to other musicians who are considering using IEMs for the first time?
IEMs are so specific to each performer. Don't be afraid to try different ones until they feel and sound right. Don't settle!
