For me, creating sound has always been an authentic way to represent parts of myself: my characteristics, changing moods, or even fleeting emotions. Looking back at my releases over the years, I've noticed that they almost look like a timeline representing the different periods of my life so far. It’s brought back memories of what was happening in my life when I created each song - both the good and the painful. I find it really meaningful that as my sound has evolved, it has paralleled my own growth as a person.

I also have a new single coming out on August 26th. Think downtempo vibes, electronic keys, and a little glimpse into where I am creatively right now.

Just some random feels and licks on the piano of my dreams 🥰 the Steinway B Spirio!

Was invited to try out the new Boston Grand with updated Steinway Hammers at M.Steinert & Sons today. Those Steinway hammers did not disappoint! Amazing to see how much difference it makes in the tone of the piano. It smooths out the high end for that velvety Steinway sound… my soul is soothed and my ears are lost somewhere on cloud nine 😌

This intermediate arrangement of Perfect by Ed Sheeran starts off simple but develops into more open positions in the left hand. The left hand patterns are easy to follow and repetitive, yet musical. Right hand uses sixths and thirds to harmonize the melody. Follow along with the sheet music for best results as this is a long piece to memorize.
