Creator's Key Takeaways

That dream took me on an unexpected journey when my wife Stephanie and I started performing on cruise ships.

I didn't dream of cruise ships. I dreamt of music, stages, of crowds singing along.

Now Stephanie and I are performing on cruise ship stages, singing every night and waking up in a new country every morning.

This is the real journey of two working musicians. The hustle, the music, the love, and what it really means to chase your dreams.

YouTube Video Description

Inside The Music - my vlog about all things relating to my multi-faceted music career and my life in general. May 24, 2025 From the time I first picked up a guitar, I dreamed of being a professional musician of singing for people all over the world and playing music that means something. That dream took me on an unexpected journey and my wife, Stephanie, and I made a huge leap when we started performing on cruise ships. I didn’t grow up dreaming of cruise ships, I dreamed of music, stages, crowds singing along, and all these years later I’m living that dream I used to haul gear into dive bars and play for tips between shifts at various day job. Now Stephanie and I are performing on cruise ship stages, singing every night and waking up in a new country every morning. We’re not famous, but we’re making a living as full-time musicians. This is the real journey of two working musicians, the hustle, the travel, the music, and what it really means to chase your dreams.
