A Day at the Grammys
I never anticipated that I would ever attend the GRAMMY Awards, but then again, a lot of things have happened in the past year that I’d only ever have dreamed of. Continue reading
Performing and the Art of Not Losing It

Invisible Lines Are Everywhere
I want to talk a little bit about the meaning behind my EP, Invisible Lines. Each song explores a different aspect of the title.
