  • The Awakening-Behind The Scene's
    Sep 15 2024

    In this episode, walk with me from my early childhood beginnings watching my opera-singing mom perform on stage, through the 1980s limited technologies, to present day real-life sounding instruments.
    The Awakening is my first attempt at composing and recording a classical-sounding song using contemporary orchestral libraries.

  • The Awakening-Single Release
    Sep 13 2024

    I've been on pens and needles since 2017 to release this song!

    "The Awakening" goes back to my childhood, the years my siblings and I spent watching our mom rehearse the leading role of Daphnie Byfield with a full orchestra in Irving Burgie's original play- Ballad for Bimshire.

    The Awakening is the culmination of my childhood influences growing up backstage, watching my amazing mom sing, and the artist I have become today.

    Initially, I wrote The Awakening as a traditional orchestral piece. But not being a trained classical musician or composer, my love for Barry White kicked in, and I turned a pretty cool classical-sounding piece into a funk dance orchestration!

    I love The Awakening! I'm proud of it. I believe it will open my creativity across areas of music I never imagined!

    Come, listen to The Awakening with me as I release the single and premiere the video!

  • Piano
    Jul 15 2024

    The relationship between the piano and me is a story that feels like a coming of age. I smile in amazement when I think back on how it all started.

    The piano was the first instrument I was introduced to. I remember my siblings and I gathered around the piano one Saturday evening, watching my dad play Chopsticks and another song I can't remember the name of. I was amazed! My dad was making music right in our living room!

    The piano was not my instrument of choice. Yet, it has become a staple in everything I do musically. I do not know what I would have done without it!
