Moving to Nashville.
After months of thought, struggle, and prayer, it is official that I’m moving to Nashville, TN. I had been wrestling with the idea for a while and knew I had to make some drastic changes if I wanted to whole-heartedly pursue a musical career. I absolutely love the area and had such an amazing time while I was there a few weeks ago. After an unbelievable opportunity presented itself, I felt like I really had no choice. Sometimes we pray for God to open a door or nudge us towards one of them. Well, this time it feels like He’s throwing me straight through it.
Long story short…myself, Jordan Schmidt, Dane Schmidt, and Colin Kassekert are officially moving into a house AND studio just outside of Nashville.
Although the situation was an extraordinary and exciting opportunity, it still wasn’t easy making the decision. Here in northeast Pennsylvania, I have built a home over the past 23 years. I have a close-knit family, a job I enjoy, a girlfriend I love, great friends, a growing and exciting church plant, soccer team, and all the comforts this American culture can dream of. The only thing missing in my life is a white picket fence.
After prayer and some wisdom from people I love and respect, I realized one thing that made the answer very clear. God gave me musical ability and passion for a reason. I know He didn’t put those in my heart to just sit and waste away. I refuse to stay home and choose comfort over what, I believe, is my life’s calling. It may not be very easy, but I will have the opportunity to work with some incredibly talented musicians every day and push forward as an artist.
If you are a friend, family, or anyone who has helped and supported me through my crazy musical endeavors…thank you. You mean the world to me. But I’ll still need your support, even though I’ll be living in Tennessee!
If you are someone who has a passion, but is afraid to make changes or take that leap of faith…man up and do it. Your life is a story. Make people want to read it.
