How 2025 began vs. how 2025 ends ✨

Music was put on hold longer than anticipated. This year had adventures mostly filled with pure magic and joy. Before the birth of my daughter, I was able to finish recording some original tunes—so stay tuned for what’s next.

Here’s to a bright 2026 🤍

And now for something a little different ... an international alt pop meets punk rock music collaboration!

I had a blast collaborating with Swedish band The Bawl Slant and bringing the tune 'Drinking Alone' to life! They just dropped a new album 'Mallrats' filled with heavy yet melodic tunes, wailing guitars, a little dissonance, and great beats. Please check out "Drinking Alone" and the rest of their rocking album!

Spring is in full bloom!

I can't help but stop, smile, and smell the Magnolia trees while they're in full bloom. Have a wonderful Tuesday ♥
