Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was 2, my dad brought home an electronic keyboard. The sound fascinated me. My parents thought I was just going to bang on the keys, but then they realized I was picking out "Mary Had a Little Lamb," and a new era of music began!
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Music Box/Emotions/Mariah Carey George Winston, December John Williams, Close Encounters of the Third Kind (The Collector's Edition Soundtrack) (Soundtrack from the Motion Picture) John Williams was my inspiration to compose film music and orchestral works. Mariah Carey provided the soundtrack for falling in love with my husband. George Winston was my inspiration to compose for piano. All 3 are fantastic artists/composers!
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Winning the "Emerging Composer Diversity Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music Composition" in the 2018 Marvin Hamlisch International Film Scoring Competition.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? To have my works recorded and performed by large orchestra, and to score a major film!
