Seal’s Kiss from a Rose is a recognizable 90s classic that sounds as good in 2026 as it did in 1996 ❤️

This is a fun one I can’t WAIT to play live sometime (maybe at @atlantastreetsalive on 10/18 👀 in Grant Park).

A little bit from the Atlanta Streets Alive event Yesterday! It was a special day full of firsts ❤️ Thank you to everyone who stopped by, old friends and new!

Here is a part from a favorite of mine- Daniel Caesar’s Best Part. I’ve always found this song to be thoughtful, passionate and carrying that ethereal energy that just doesn’t happen much anymore in modern R&B ✨

Shoutout to @atlantastreetsalive for creating such a joyful and healthy space for Atlantans to enjoy their city 🙏🏾

This was special. The solitude contrasted with the haunting waves of cicada symphonies, bringing me to play a favorite- J.S. Bach’s Minuet I in the first of his Six Suites for cello. Lively but solemn. Short but sweet. In a setting with similar dichotomy.

Savannah, while beautiful, was a massive stopping point in the Transatlantic Slave Trade, meaning there is a high likelihood my ancestors, those native to America and those brought here forcibly, walked this same land some centuries ago. Being in their space and performing a piece that transcends culture and time was a spiritual experience I won’t soon forget 🖤

Supporting @arsenal is not just a small hobby, but a lifelong lifestyle of dedication and appreciation, even when the results aren’t there at the moment. Even in losing the champions league final, we celebrate our first @premierleague title in 22 years, and this season was more joyful, more exuberant (and yes, more cathartic) than I could have ever hoped.

“The Angel (North London Forever)” by @louisdunford has become the official song of this unique moment, giving fans a vessel to show their deep passion for this special club. On the day of this loss, played on cello, the song has a uniquely melancholy hue to it, although the intensity of our dedication is unchanged.

Performing on Atlanta’s iconic Jackson street bridge just felt right- celebrating the club I love in the city I love ❤️

Like Atlanta, Arsenal have an ability to rise from ashes, and reinvent themselves better than they were before.

@michaeljackson is an artist all of his own, and a genre all of his own. His musical intuition combined with his views of the world led to powerful tracks like “Human Nature”, a personal favorite from the forever acclaimed “Thriller” Album 💿

This song highlights subtle, natural feelings we have to be somewhere else- that somewhere being a person, a place or even an experience. These feelings are relatable and pervasive, and therefore organically captured when this song is played on cello.

I enjoyed this arrangement and promise there’s more Michael to come! 🎻#michael #cello #michaeljackson #humannature #atlantamusic taken in Atlanta, Georgia by @nicholascovers

“Talk” is a modern classic and personal favorite, not only because of Khalid’s uniquely ear-catching voice and Disclosure’s signature production touches, but because of its message.

This song describes a yearning to hear and be heard, to connect closely and clearly with someone we care about. This message and Khalid’s vocals translate seamlessly to cello and makes performing this track a satisfying experience.

I had an excellent time playing the Pre-Valetines event for @gatheredgroundsatl on 2.13 ❤️🍽️🍷

Both love and the aromas of fine Italian dining filled the air as some of Atlanta’s warmest enjoyed their meals and quality company. And like an Italian wine, notes from a carefully curated song list paired nicely with every delicious course that came to their table.

Everyone walked away with full bellies and an equally full, unique experience. Until next time! 🎻

Johann Sebastian Bach is a favorite composer, so performing one of his more popular pieces for thirty friends among still water and changing leaves was uniquely special.

Bach once said, “Music’s only purpose should be the glory of God and the recreation of the human spirit.” Performing in this natural space, I felt both.
