Creator's Key Takeaways
I make a living singing and playing guitar. I get to travel the world, and my wife and I perform for thousands of people every single night.
Almost none of the music that I play is my own. I've gotten really good at playing other people's songs, songs that people love, songs that fill rooms.
I'm just playing with it again. I don't think I lost this part of myself, and I definitely don't have everything figured out yet.

Inside The Music - my vlog about all things relating to my multi-faceted music career and my life in general. April 12, 2026 I finally made it as a musician. …or at least, something like that. I make a living singing and playing guitar. I travel the world. My wife and I perform for thousands of people every single night. It’s the kind of life I used to dream about. But somewhere along the way, something started to feel… off. In this video, I’m talking about the part of being a full-time musician that people don’t really see — and how I’m trying to find my way back to the reason I started doing this in the first place. If you’ve ever chased a dream, reached it, and still felt like something was missing… this one’s for you. 🎸 Follow along as I share more about life as a working musician, cruise ship performer, and the journey back to creating original music. 👍 If this resonated with you, consider subscribing.
