A GOOD ASS SATURDAY NIGHT!

I had the opportunity to photograph Jet Black Alley Cat, along with The New Schematics, Hardcastle, and DBMK at Mercy Lounge here in Nashville, TN. I was glad to run into a few members of JBAC, and photograph some of the other bands.

It was really amazing to hear Hardcastle as well. Hardcastle are a pop indie band based in Nashville and they're really cool.

I was really digging DBMK last night with their music and it was extremely bananas when they were performing. It was really cool and the crowd was crazy at that moment DBMK was playing.

Now, for the main event... The grooviest, rocking band in Nashville, TN... JET BLACK ALLEY CAT! They got the crowd in a uproar of fun, grooving and moving, and the end of a Kick ass Saturday. It was really cool to see them again and actually photograph them live.

Music is a soundtrack to our lives. I have a highlight on my Instagram that has my favorite type of music from Cash Cash, Jet Black Alley Cat, Ellie Goulding, MNEK, Hailee Steinfeld, Rachel Platten, Kehlani, and much more. These artists motivate me to do more in photography because I love how I can jam and do a photo session in the studio, or listen to it to get my day started or when I'm shooting outside.

"Codes" by Ellie Goulding pretty much explains my life, because people always get a vibe from me sometimes. "Thank You" by Kehlani makes me feel grateful for the people in my life, but it also makes me feel grateful for my mom and my family. " I Don't Think About You" by Kelly Clarkson, a song that makes me think about things in my life that made me who I am today. As a photographer, that song makes me realize that I have my moments and I learn that I'm worth something to people.

"Colour" by MNEK and Hailee Steinfeld, a song for anyone to love and appreciate life because the world is black and white sometimes, but people learn to love one another. "High-Class Women" by Jet Black Alley Cat, it's a catchy song to me(Honestly, I pretty much dance to this song) but, this band is making moves and I'm appreciative of them and their music.

These songs are pretty much messages of love, friendships, gratefulness, growth, and just dance-worthy fun. I hope people use music in their photography because it makes it so much better

JBAC w/ The New Schematics, Hardcastle, and DBMK =...

Music that gets me going...
