“Love Forever” - The Album That Found Me Back

This album wasn’t written in a studio—it was written in real life. In the late nights when the messages came through so strong to me that they wouldn’t let me sleep until they were fully written down. In the hardest and saddest goodbyes. In the quiet whispered strength of starting over.

Finding My Happy Ending

For a long time, I searched for what my Happy Ending really was. I used to think it would come beautifully wrapped in a Tiffany’s box-because I really WORKED hard for it. But this year, I’ve learned the honest truth: my happy ending isn’t about achieving a picture-perfect life. It’s about shedding what no longer serves me, removing the toxicity (people and things), and finally embracing my individuality and inner strength.

In doing so, I found my voice again—and I followed it to recording my debut album.

A Love Letter To “Second Chances”

I have always been a strong believer in positive thinking — speaking my goals loud and proud into the universe through manifestation. For most of my life, in conjunction with crazy long hours of vocal training and relentless hard work, I achieved things easily. Awards, shows, and roles slipped into my fingertips, and I always felt so special sharing my gifts. My parents supported me with absolute dedication, and I’ve loved living in my passions and dreams since my earliest days.

Me, Myself and I

Ever since I was 8, music has played a very central theme in my life. I had the divine privilege of finding  my confidence and voice on stage and rejoiced in being able to sing my heart out to share my greatest bliss, fears, and dreams. I achieved so many beautiful goals in my earlier music label days, from singing to a standing ovation at The Apollo, winning an online talent competition and $10k, doing a promotional tour in every major city in the US with dancers, performing with Pat Benatar, and charting on Billboard twice to name a few highlights. With the help of my music label, management, songwriters, producers, and booking agents at the time- I was able to live my dream fully.  I will be forever thankful for the team and individuals  who supported me and nurtured my talents in my earlier life.

Mask-off

In April, I decided to head back to a recording studio I know and love from earlier in my career, Engine Room Audio. I had the honor of recording my singles and EPs at this incredible studio with my previous record label and management. I don’t regret a minute of my journey to this point, and consistently feel incredible gratitude for all the mentors who helped shape who I am as an artist.

It All Comes From Me

Throughout my career as an artist, I have sought validation from external sources such as auditions, applause, and feedback from industry experts. It is par for the course in the entertainment industry and something that is deeply ingrained in understanding. I have always dreamed of being “discovered overnight” …

Surrender

Surrender has been a central theme that has deeply influenced and shaped my journey over the past few years. These were the years where I had to face grief head on so strongly for the first time. You see, without creating music, I don’t know how my soul would have possibly made it.
