As long as I can remember, I’ve been immersed in music and art. I was three years old the first time I sang on stage and I remember rehearsing, thinking it was exactly where I was meant to be.

I was so excited to turn five, that meant I was old enough to start piano lessons like my older sisters. During my first lesson, my teacher told me that my hands were too small and I needed to come back in a year. I was devastated.

Instead, I was enrolled in a rhythm & beats class and every week, we sat in a circle to play percussive instruments together. Music was always meant to be a shared experience and this taught me that lesson early on.

After years of piano and vocal lessons, rehearsals, recitals and competitions, my teacher said that she’d taken me as far as she could and I needed to find a more advanced instructor. I decided to push pause. 

After a break, I began to DJ and followed my passion of learning how to mix and scratch vinyl. Sharing music in this way felt electric and fueled my desire to learn even more.

I wanted to expand, so I learned how to write, record, produce and develop audio engineering skills. My origin story is infused with music and art. I’m incredibly thankful that I grew up with parents who prioritized creativity and supported my passions.

This journey brought me to where I am today, working on an immersive audio visual project.
