After a few years, I kept wanting to push the envelope musically, but it wasn't necessarily fitting the sound of any of the Reach Records artist. Finally, one day, I spoke to Reach co-owner Ben Washer about my music and we spoke about becoming an artist myself. Shortly after, I signed to Reach Records and the rest is history.
