Being back in Frederick really brings it all full circle for us, you know. I mean, we’re so rooted in this community and the local ingredients define what we do in the kitchen. It’s about sharing that story and bringing a taste of Maryland to everyone who visits.

When I first started in construction you know I was working with this crew doing foundation work and basically my job was mixing concrete and helping the guys with whatever they needed like carrying tools and materials and stuff like that and eventually they taught me the real skills.

So like yesterday I tried playing basketball with the guys, right, and man my knees were killing me after like five minutes, you know what I mean? Getting old is no joke, like I used to play for hours but now I'm basically done after one game.

Sometimes you just have to trust your gut when it comes to the music. I've had people tell me what direction to take, but if it doesn't feel right in your soul, it won't work. I'm just lucky to have a team that lets me be me.

I used to worry so much about just disappearing, you know? Like, never making that mark or being seen. But standing here now, it's just wild. If you told me back then that things would actually, like, fall into place this way, I wouldn't have believed it, man.

Yeah and it’s just how things go now with the old neighborhood falling apart and nobody looking out for each other anymore. I’m still scraping by with some labor here and there but it’s hard when the world feels like it’s just fighting you every step.

Yeah, it's just like that now, the neighborhood isn't what it used to be and everyone’s just trying to survive on whatever work they can find. I’ve seen good people struggle hard but we gotta keep pushing and looking out for the kids who don’t have anyone else.

You know, I was like, at this amazing audition and, like, the director was there and everything, and I was so, you know, nervous but excited. And when they called me back I'm like, exactly like that, I couldn't believe it, you know?
