“When did you first start writing songs and what prompted you to do so? Do you have a musical background? I wrote my first song "Pickin' Daisies" when I was 16 years-old. This in fact was a time of new beginnings and with that came many inspirations! I was in this relationship for a bout two years during high school that really took my songs to the next level. Not saying that I was using this guy...which is how he might see it, unfortunately. So relationships, family, and the good things that make go like, "Wow, this is amazing, I LOVE LIFE!" That is my drive. For every moment, every life lesson, and every time I think of God. Yes I do! My grandpa, Bob Cecrle was in a barbershop quartet back in his late 20's. It's so fascinating to hear of all his stories. Then he passed it down to my Dad, Dave Cecrle. He inspired me to start playing guitar. Either it's genetics or something else because it all of a sudden just came natural after that! ”
