For those who aren’t yet familiar with her, is an acclaimed pianist, vocalist, and composer based in NYC. Her natural and conversational singing and piano artistry strike a balance between sophistication and modernity, all while firmly rooted in tradition. Her compositions are refreshingly innovative yet rooted in jazz.

As a young person growing up in Central Florida learning this music, I remember dreaming about living in NYC and having a band…having a team of amazing musicians and friends whom I felt at home with and who would push me and our music to higher and higher levels. 💭

I feel so incredibly fortunate to have found these incredible people, Luca, Evan, & Elijah, who have made this vision a reality…and even better than I could have imagined ✨
They are each so amazingly talented, hardworking, and hilarious. We’re always laughing & having fun on and off the bandstand.

How did we meet? This is what everyone always asks us…interview coming tomorrow…stay tuned 👀

Happy New Year 🎆

Wishing you peace, happiness, health and prosperity this year and thereafter!
I am hoping and praying that as a human race we can overcome the illusion of separateness and prevent any continued atrocities against each other.

On a personal note I feel extremely blessed to spend another year on this gorgeous planet making music and expressing, shining a light on vulnerability and the importance of togetherness as a society and with Mother Earth.

Thank you for reading and joining my journey!
I am very excited to be releasing our album ‘Seems’ on March 29th ✨It looks like it will be an exciting year 🫶
