This article is a puff piece about a non-notable singer-songwriter that reads like an advertisement. Google search finds nothing written about him by third parties such as reviews or critics, only the usual vanity hits. No indication that the subject satisfies musical notability.

 * Delete. Nothing stated in the article passes WP:NMUSIC at all (the only one it even approaches is #10, but that requires the main theme song for a TV show, not a mere scene placement, and still has to be better sourced than this before it counts); the writing tone here tilts noticeably in an advertorialized, rather than neutral and encyclopedic, direction; and none of the sources that have been added are reliable ones for the purposes of establishing notability: it's referenced entirely to iTunes and his self-published profile on the commercial website of a music licensing agency, with no evidence of media coverage about him being shown. A musician does not get an automatic inclusion freebie on Wikipedia just because his own web presence nominally verifies that he exists — he needs to be the subject of media coverage, which verifies an accomplishment that passes an NMUSIC criterion, for a Wikipedia article to become earned. We're an encyclopedia, on which making it big comes first and then the Wikipedia article follows, not a free advertising platform for emerging artists to promote themselves as part of trying to make it. There's also a probable conflict of interest here, as the music licensing agency is called SynchAudio, the creator's username is "SA2014", and their only other Wikipedia contribution to date is another artist of improperly established notability whose sourcing is also to SynchAudio.
