I've been making music since I was twelve-years-old. Not long after I started writing, I found a vocal coach, as well as a producer and mentor who began recording me.

A by-product of cross-culturalism, I simultaneously learned the principles of different violin schools, researched their traditions, particularities, and distinctions. Read More
