💔 All My Fault - "My Divorce Song" is about my divorce in 2020. A true story of an emotional rollercoaster of a year, with all the ups and downs, the blissful highs, and the gut-wrenching lows. One of my first songs written after a long hiatus of no music. I finally discovered it's about writing emotional music that connects and has meaning to me! Makes you really feel the music! 🎧

Talk to Me (Live)

😶‍🌫️ Somewhere is an acoustic ballad that blends emo pop vulnerability with surreal, storybook imagery and a haunting refrain "Is there any hope left for the hopeless?”⛈️Lost at sea emotionally and spiritually, this is a journey through storm and fog in search of love, purpose, and something just out of reach. Drifting through oceans of memory and myth, evoking the introspective melancholy of Death Cab for Cutie and Dashboard Confessional, with a touch of theatrical storytelling to find connection. ⚓  

My tribute to An American Tail. A little mouse, a big journey. A land of enchantment, freedom, and new beginnings. I hope you love it! ❤️ An American Tale backstory.
