Just a little snippet of things to come... Lord Poetry's Aria from Philip Thompson's 2016 opera THE FINAL BATTLE FOR LOVE, recorded in my living room! 

For those who don't already know, in 2022 I began testosterone to further affirm my gender identity. I still use they/them pronouns and my name is the same, but I'm a tenor now! I'm just beginning to get a handle on my new instrument and wanted to share this recording as an update!

Please forgive the spotty piano playing... turns out it's hard to play and sing at the same time when you've kind of just figured out how your voice works again.
