Dear You,

I’m writing this to you in a letter. I just can’t think of any other way to explain to you where I’ve been, and where it is that I’m trying to go. This whole thing all started a few years ago when I was coming out of a too-serious relationship and decided I needed to travel. At that point, and still today, I was Pittsburgh through and through. I had immigrant, coal mining, steel mill working great grandparents; coal mining and steel mill working grandparents; and “first kids to go to college” parents who worked two jobs each when I was growing up. I can’t imagine that my upbringing was too dissimilar to many other kids growing up around Pittsburgh in the 90?s. I thought I would marry young, have kids young, and break my back all week to raise my kids, just like everyone else that came before me. And then I ran away one summer to Australia, and my worldview fell to pieces. I couldn’t believe how big and beautiful the world was. I felt like my life had gone from a prescribed one track route to “wow, you mean I can work as an immigrant farmer for 6 months and live on the Great Barrier Reef?!” It was at that point that I tried to conceptualize how beautiful God’s creation was through the only means of expression I had: music. So I started writing my own songs.
