Memorable Moments
"It was just this dream that guided me in each different move and change in my life."
“Taking my art away from the place in my life that required making music to make money, for my art to no longer be pressured and to now have the freedom to just do whatever I wanted to with music because I love it. That changed everything for me.”
"I feel great about it, I feel proud of it, and I feel like, you know, I only have one life. What's most important is that I feel great about me."
"I am such a huge proponent of not having regret, and that's been a big thread through my entire life."
"I'm hoping that my joy in creating this will also give other people joy. But if it doesn't that's fine, I'm not looking for this to be validating in any other way, other than my own personal journey."
