In 2018, my prayers took on a new form—they became melodies. By 2019, my choir director pointed at my laptop and said, “That’s your studio.” It was a pivotal moment. I began making music and felt an undeniable sense of alignment and purpose as my ideas took shape and became determined to stop hiding my light. Fear gave way to healing and growth when I remembered that God is the ultimate reason to sing. I realized I needed to return to Him the gift He gave me—multiplying it to be a light in the world. The more I create, the more I realize it all comes down to trusting Him.

Choir has always been my sanctuary—a space where I felt safe, heard, and fully myself. My journey in ensembles, from elementary school to graduate school, has deeply shaped my sound. Early on, my love for music was nurtured by my band director, John Kovalchik, and my high school choir director, Robert Drafall. At Penn State, I sang in Essence of Joy under Dr. Anthony Leach, and in graduate school, I was part of the African American Choral Ensemble at Indiana University, directed by Dr. Raymond Wise. The mentorship, inspiration, and direction of Dr. Leach and Dr. Wise played an integral role in why I create music today.

Since I began writing, I’ve been building a vibrant community of fellow artists, collaborating with platforms like Amen Worldwide, One Big Family, Creators Creations Create, Redeemed Art Collective, theOLOGY, Integrity Music, and more. In 2021, my friends and I launched Fam Jam, a DC-based creative community that hosts intimate house shows featuring local artists of all kinds. This incubator of creativity has fueled my confidence as a performer and inspired me to keep creating—while also encouraging others to step out in courage, share their hearts, and connect through art.

Beyond being an independent artist, I serve as an education coordinator at 24/7 Artists, where I develop and implement educational programs and resources to support independent musicians.

My sound is soulful in my own way—blurring the lines between R&B/Soul, singer-songwriter, CCM, and Gospel. I’m inspired by artists like Madison Ryann Ward, Tori Kelly, DOE, H.E.R., Cleo Sol, and SSTEDI.

Creativity, faith, and my personal journey weave together something that feels timeless in message yet refreshingly new. I pray my music is an invitation to:

• Know God, bringing Him all the sorrow and joys of life.

• Courageously grow in and share your own gifts.

• Cultivate a more connected, harmonious world—one rooted in community, creativity, and faithful Love.
