About the Album

It was my lifelong dream to record my own album. I started out as a classical musician, beginning piano at three years old and following in my mother's footsteps. As a teenager, I started listening to the radio and discovering "alternative" music. These 4 minute long songs made me feel like someone else understood me. Growing up, I was always amazed by the emotional connections I formed with these songs. This album is the culmination of years of heartache, disappointment, rejection, and self-realization. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I hope others will listen to my songs and feel that same connection with me.

Funded by a Kickstarter campaign, I released the album in 2013. Special thanks to the following contributors who helped make it possible:
