Vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer from Traverse City, MI. I play in Costellar (pop-rock/emo), Giving Away Monday (metalcore), MEGAskyfish (math/indie rock), She Screams of Royalty (metalcore), and compose solo music and record cover songs from time to time. Currently working with Studio Anatomy in Traverse City as a producer and mix engineer.

Always at the forefront with an active role in emerging stylistic nuances Century Media has truly shattered the barriers and exemplified diversity in extremes while remaining rooted in the underground but giving bands opportunities outside of the normal means with major league international touring, commercial radio play, and music placement in high-profile films, TV and commercials. Despite all of the years and breakthroughs the company maintains their organic, family feel and business is still being conducted by fans of the music for fans of the music.

Giving Away Monday officially came into fruition in November of 2014, but the project's roots date back to the previous year when members Troy Lawson and Danny Vail began collaborating on some music that combined elements of Lawson's metal and deathcore roots with Vail's pop songwriting sensibilities. They recruited clean vocalist Kristina Woodworth, bassist Cody Davis, and drummer Tom Yagle to begin work on a six song EP that not only ignores the metalcore rulebook, but obliterates it and rewrites the whole thing from scratch. This is a band that is not to be overlooked in 2015.

No Sleep Records is an independent record label based in Huntington Beach, CA and home to some of underground music's best emerging talent. Formed in 2006 by Chris Hansen, No Sleep began as a project to bring back originality and uniqueness to a seemingly watered-down scene, and has quickly risen to become one of the most respected labels in the industry.

Years after its inception, No Sleep continues to push the boundaries of music with a diverse lineup of innovative acts that don't necessarily fit any single genre, but instead are out to cut their own path. From La Dispute and Touche Amore to Balance and Composure and Into It. Over It., the label has become one of the scene's most coveted labels for bands to call home.

Founded in 1996, Vagrant Records is currently the home to: The 1975, Active Child, Albert Hammond Jr., Alexander, AlunaGeorge, Bad Suns, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Black Joe Lewis, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Blitzen Trapper, Bombay Bicycle Club, Circa Waves, CRUISR, DIVE IN, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, The Elected, Fossil Collective, French Kicks, James Vincent McMorrow, John Gold, Justin Townes Earle, Letts, Mark Lanegan, Maudlin Strangers, Mayer Hawthorne, PJ Harvey, Placebo, Rogue Wave, School of Seven Bells, Wake Owl and WATERS.
