Friends and family it is with great joy that I introduce you to my debut project -

“Tales Of A Melancholic Romance”

A 6 song EP coming to you Friday November 13. I’m releasing 1 more single from this project Friday October 30. More details to follow.

Getting this EP to the finish line is truly one of the hardest things I’ve ever taken on. So many moving pieces, so many obstacles along the way. I have immense gratitude for the many wonderful people in my life that have joined me on this journey of sharing my art with the world. Thank you for holding space for me through moments of deep self doubt and fear that I would never get this project done. Keeping me grounded while I pour myself into these songs. Everyone tagged in this post has played a role in creating this EP and I look forward to sharing more about each person’s contribution in the coming weeks. Sending my love to all of you.
