"I was born in Austin, TX but moved when I was 2 years old to Chicago where I spent most of my childhood. Despite being raised in a low-income family of 7, my parents worked tirelessly to encourage and provide musical training. My formal learning started at age 9 with violin lessons and continued until age 15 when life drastically changed. Engulfed in the confines of religion, music was no longer explored or pursued until many years later. From the devastating effects of religious indoctrination, music became a form of trauma therapy and expression. Self-taught, I continue to experiment and discover ways to promote healing and reflection through sound."
Love.
Each lyric written and note sang is a compilation of all life’s influences from birth. Every hello and every goodbye, every struggle and every celebration, every love and every loss, every muse and every monster. Life does not enfold without interdependence. I don’t write songs, WE write them. I exist because of you.
Funding my own efforts is next to impossible while raising my kids and working full time. Every show I play goes to supporting this dream. My hope is to gather enough support to continue recording the songs that have bled from me and then to release an EP in 2023. I cannot ask for anything, I can only give. If you feel led to as well…
