No more hiding! We are not in competition, but collaboration. My hometown is at a toddler stage of appreciation for art/artists, compared to other locations, but what a fun age!

I was called crazy for believing in my talent, my dream. I just wanted to create for my area. I wanted to be an example of someone that took a risk by doing something different. As I always say, “the kids are watching”. Which is true. I want to be someone HERE, not someone somewhere else! And when I leave to showcase my work in another land (representing the south, Tennessee) I will comeback better and with more experience.

No more skipping LOCAL talent. We have impactful, kind and incredibly talented artists, performers, speakers, teachers and community leaders RIGHT HERE. Of course, you are welcome to our city but make sure to take a look around while you’re here!

Here I am, out with the people, out in the wild!
