The Full Story

About Me

I was born in Juneau, Alaska (Auk’w Kwáan Territory) and enjoyed a childhood where music was allowed to be one of my biggest priorities. Thanks to my parents working hard and having the financial ability to support music lessons, I began at a young age with piano. Eventually moving into trying violin, guitar, and voice studies.

The artist I am today is mainly because of my parents support and love but I would like to list though who have challenged me, inspired me, mentored me, and been vital in my journey.

Musical Focus

My early studies include classical piano and voice. As a young adult I began studying folk, R&B, gospel, opera, and jazz.

Now, I primarily study jazz, R&B, gospel, lofi, and pop. But you'll find me performing jazz mainly in live settings.

Experience

I have had the opportunity to work in small vocal ensembles, jazz and symphonic choirs, and small vocal groups.

These days I do some recording solo, recording with rap artists and beat tracks, and performing with the Alyssa Fischer jazz trio.

Goals

My goal is simply to enjoy, perform, and encourage myself and others in expressing themselves through music.
