and I grew up playing music my whole life. My
sister played a little bit older than me, played the saxophone,
and I was always around when she'd be practicing, and

play her saxophone, and eventually I picked up lessons and

enrolled in choir through throughout middle school and high school
and took vocal lessons, and yeah, I began in in
bands in choir.

So who are your music influences the artists who have
inspired you the most?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Yeah, A lot of it comes from when when I
was picking up music again playing the saxophone, so a
lot of and I began playing jazz with a couple
of instructors, my my high school band teacher and then
a private instructor h and I took the jazz very far.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
So listening to jazz growing up is a huge influence.

Pretty Inte the Things. Can you tell us what was
the process of making it? And also what are the
songs that we can hear on it?
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Yeah, I mean it all starts with sitting down and
writing writing songs. And I love writing with other people.
You know, I had band members here. I'm out of
Iowa still, so I wrote with some band members in
Iowa and then went down to Nashville for a while
and wrote down there, writing with you know, a buddy John.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Who was super great.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
We wrote pretty Little Thing together and I planned on
releasing it as a single until I had written Terrified
of Losing You, the second one on there. That one
I wrote with Carson and I had the lyrics and
brought it to practice the next day and I started
singing a melody and Carson put the chords underneath, and
we kind of polished it up from there.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
And yeah, some of these songs.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Feel like they're written in twenty five minutes, while the
others feel like they're written in a couple of days.
So just having the opportunity to write with great people
is gives you a good bass to get into into
recording studio with an awesome producer. I met up with
Logan Murphy very early on in Nashville and we kind
(04:10):
of hit it off right away and started recording and
you know, polishing up these songs too, and he helped
me find the best sound that I could find.
