About

  I came to songwriting through a lifelong love of country music — the kind built on real voices, sharp details, and songs that stick because they say something true.

  Born in Blakely, Georgia, I’m the youngest of six and grew up moving around the South and Southwest, following wherever my parents could find work. Looking back, that kind of upbringing taught me how to listen, how to read people, and how to feel at home in unfamiliar places. Those things have shaped me as much as any record ever did, and they still show up in the way I write.

  Music found me early. Singing, church, school, theatre, guitar, poetry — all of it became part of the same road that eventually led me deeper into songwriting. What started as instinct became a real pursuit, and over time I committed myself to learning from hit songwriters and studying the craft with intention.

  Today, Franklin Songworks is the home for that work: writing Country songs for artists, custom projects, and co-writes that need both instinct and structure.

  I’m especially drawn to songs that balance honesty, melody, and commercial awareness — songs that can nod to tradition without sounding stuck in the past, and songs that give artists something believable to say.
