Where Does the Sound Come From
I have always had a fascination with translation. Whether this comes in the form of etymology, language, or channeling my essence into music at the piano. I was eight when I decided to ditch the sheet music and try playing my own thoughts.
Soon it was the primary way that I interacted with my instrument. I was motivated by a desire to convey deep, intricate meaning in a way that moves people..
My love for composing comes from my love of translation. To capture and portray something as incalculable as love, gratitude, despair, or any emotion is to perform a beautiful magic that I am endlessly enthralled by.
