His song 'Fight For Love' came out in 2005 and became his most recognizable track, with its chorus about persistence in relationships. He released a self-titled debut album in 2007 that mixed soul, pop, and R&B elements. Other songs like 'Spinning Wheel,' 'Field Of Crows,' and 'Levee Song' show his range as a writer, often dealing with personal themes and everyday scenes.
