Treat You Better

Dream That I Had (Acoustic)

Fun upbeat track for the sweet summer love. This song is all about giving yourself permission to fall in love with someone, because it's work any risk. Love is the best feeling in the world and so often we associate that with pain, but it's not loving that's painful. Love lets your heart soar above the clouds, into the stratosphere because of its incredible feeling. 

This is a live recording of the first live performance of this song. Performed live at Republic of Pie in August on 2018.

Falling [LIVE]

Have you ever just met someone and knew that it they were going to be someone significant in your life with really knowing why? Well, this is my attempt at figuring out why. Let me know what you think!

Meant to Be (LIVE)

In November of 2018 my home was threatened by the wildfires raging across Southern California. At the time, the only thing I could think about was "What should I take?" I didn't know what else to do except write a song. I remember the day after the flames burned, I was driving along the freeway and I saw hotspots everywhere. You couldn't get off the freeway on the majority of the exits because they were still putting out some small flames. It looked like a ghost town. 

A few months later, LA got a lot of rain, which meant mudslides. After the rain though, the most beautiful flowers painted the hills. Blues and yellows, and green... it looked like what Starry Starry Night would have looked like if van Gogh painted it during the day. It was beautiful. 

I hope this song reminds you to be grateful for what you have while you have it. I hope this song brings you comfort and happy memories like it does for me. I hope we all become more vocal about what we're thankful for on more days than just Thanksgiving.

Stay [LIVE]

Meant to be is like a warm hug on a cloudy day... or a cup of hot chocolate on a rainy one.

When we're young, we're instinctively afraid of falling, it's critical for survival. As we grow up, we realize that falling is part of the journey. In fact, many people who skydive will tell you that the fall is exhilarating; well, so is falling in love. It's exciting, it's new, it's overwhelming. Writing this song was scary, exhilarating, wonderful, and overwhelming, just like falling in love. Falling isn't scary when you're falling in love. Love is the freedom in falling. Love is the medicine. Love is safety.

I'm a singer/songwriter based out of Los Angeles, CA. My mission and purpose as an artist is to empower and encourage others to keep believing in their goals and dreams because they are worth it and, frankly, you're worth it too. 

I started writing at 10 years old, being influenced by artists and songwriters such as Sara Bareilles, John Mayer, the Beatles, and Ella Fitzgerald. I released my first, self-titled EP in 2012, combining my musical influences into a singer/songwriter pop style of my own. 

With this new release I am working towards, my mission is create music that is both clever and honest in order to unveil and explore different facets of truth. Because you found me here, you'll be among the first to hear my new music, so be sure to let me know what you think! 

Can't wait to meet you,
