1. Please introduce yourself and give us the backstory on how you got started.

️Band from Austin, TX. Formed in 2017. Matured in 2024.

2. How would you describe your music?

A real tuchus shaker. 

3. Who are your biggest influences?

Right now – Oasis, INXS, The Police, Third Eye Blind, Prince, Kings, Killers, Strokes. Country music. 

4. What was the inspiration behind your current single?

I was living in Sydney by myself for about a year, chasing a girl that I was in love with (and still am). Finding my way in Sydney knowing no one else, writing an album that didn’t exist yet, and thus meaning quite literally ‘All I have is your love’. When I came back to the US we began recording the album at United Recording and Sunset Sound. Eventually finishing the vocals in Prince’s old room at Sunset.

5. What would surprise people most about you?

I got married.
