Artist Statement
Making Little Things with Great Love
As someone who has felt immense peace, love, comfort, healing, and understanding through music, I only hope that my compositions could do the same for others. I value the art of storytelling greatly, whether it be sharing my own stories through my compositions or striving to enhance someone else’s through film scoring. Music, to me, serves as a direct heart to heart communication between the composer and audience; it is this connection that I am committed to nurturing throughout my life. I firmly believe that the most beautiful forms of art in this world are born from a place of authenticity and life experiences.
