He was the runner-up on the 7th season of NBC’s popular reality singing competition, The Voice, and since then, he’s made some solid moves in the music world. One key milestone came on March 1, 2014, when he released his independent album titled View of the Pines, showcasing his unique sound and heartfelt songwriting. Before all the fame and spotlight, he actually started writing songs at a very young age—really, from childhood. Music called to him early on, so much so that he made the bold decision to skip college initially to chase his dreams in the industry. But here’s an interesting twist: he eventually went back and graduated from the University of the Arts in 2013, proving that passion and persistence can go hand in hand. He was born in Barnegat Light, New Jersey, to Brenda McAndrew, and grew up alongside his sister, forming roots in a close-knit family that supported his artistic journey. All in all, his path reflects dedication, growth, and a deep love for music—qualities that continue to define him today.
His hit single “Wasted Love” really made waves when it dropped, climbing all the way to #14 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was a major milestone in his career, showing just how much his music resonated with fans. He proved he could hold his own among the top artists, and “Wasted Love” became one of his standout tracks. His ability to connect through his lyrics and sound helped solidify his place in the industry, and that chart position was no fluke—it was well earned.
