01Music

This is where it begins.

Music was there long before I knew who I was supposed to become, where life would take me,
or what it would look like.

Singing was my first passion, and music has always been the place where I feel like myself.

People may call singing performing. For me, it is simply who I am.

Music is where my heart and soul are, and where I can return when everything else gets too loud. It has been there through every version of my life, carrying the parts of me that words could not always reach.

02The songs that stayed

Music can take you somewhere in seconds.

There are songs I have carried for decades—some because I simply love them, others because they belong forever to a person, a place, a relationship, a loss, a beginning, or a moment I never want to forget.

A song can bring back a face, a feeling, a place, or a version of yourself you thought you had left behind.

This is where I’ll share the music, the stories around it, and some of the memories those songs still carry.
