I make music that turns raw stories into sound. What comes out of Poor Boy Studios is a blend of outlaw‑country grit, punk‑blues edge, and disruptive folk honesty — the kind of songs that feel lived‑in and a little chaotic.
Every song carries pieces of my life(and I hope yours as well): late‑night reflections, hard‑earned lessons, and truths you only find after you’ve listened to all the bullshit.
A quick-hit showcase of the tracks that fire me up, keep me moving, and always feel right when I pick up the guitar.
