My music is more than just a part of my life—it’s the essence of my entire neighborhood, my curious neighbor, and the stray cat that frequently visits my doorstep. In Kansas City, I balance work, love, and songwriting as if I’m auditioning for a circus. One moment, I’m immersed in filing reports; the next, I’m serenading my coffee mug with a fresh chorus about unrequited love and parking tickets. To grasp my perspective, envision a jukebox that exclusively plays my thoughts—and sometimes gets stuck on a polka rendition of my dreams. Enter my world, and bring popcorn—it’s a musical, and I’m both the lead and the understudy. Through this journey, I’ve learned valuable life lessons and composed new music inspired by my work, dreams, and experiences.
