Brand Tone

authentic, approachable, and aspirational

Brand Values

• •Authenticity
• •Perseverance & Ambition
• •Connection & Community
• •Appreciation of the Present

Best Practices

• •Always tie content back to the core narrative—the journey from Ohio to Key West to Nashville. This personal history is a unique brand asset and reinforces authenticity.
• •Use language that evokes a sense of ease, warmth, and escapism, reflecting the "beachy" quality of the music. Words like "soul," "sailing," "sunset," and "island" can be brand keywords.
• •Even as success grows, maintain an approachable and grateful tone. Directly engage with fans, share behind-the-scenes content, and express appreciation for the community.
• •Communicate goals and aspirations (new albums, bigger tours) while simultaneously reminding the audience to appreciate the present moment, mirroring the lyrical themes of the music.
• •Ensure that all visuals—from album art and music videos to social media photos—reflect the warm, authentic, and slightly rustic "island-meets-country" aesthetic. This visual consistency will reinforce the overall brand tone.
