Skills & Expertise
Started learning piano
Feb. 2024
I came to a cross road. A ukulele is limited. And in order to be a better (and more analytical) songwriter I needed to learn piano! I already knew my way around one to program in my DAW, but i wanted to know how to play songs! Now I can!
Started Private Lessons
Oct. 2023
I decided I wanted formal training on voice so I dove into learning fundamentals with my mentor Wendy Taylor starting with opera!
Became a coach + Judge on "the Voice Galveston"
Sept. 2023
After competing in this competition, and guest judging, I was asked to move to the other side of the table and it has been an honor and a pleasure! Teaching has always been my favourite thing to do in my other lines of work so it has been wonderful to be able to share my experience with others!
Released my debut album
Sept. 2023
I perfected my album through my illness over years and officially released "a pay to play world" completely independently on all streaming platforms!
Judged Carley's All- Stars
April 2022
After competing in "the Voice Galveston" I had the honor of being invited to judge Carley's unique singing competition, where she invited singers combined from all her singing competitions.
Streaming on Twitch
April 2020-present
I began streaming solely music during the pandemic, surviving covid but causing a lifelong disability. I now stream 2+ days a week playing singing, looping and playing music live or playing a variety of games (generally darker + scarier ones). Monthly i also host a talk show with changing themes! I have been slowly growing my community focusing on accepting disabilities of all kinds, mental health, and having good cozy fun!
I am also part of 2 teams: "Chronically Sickening" (differently-abled streamers) and "Fever to Tell" (team of musicians).
Won "the Voice Galveston"
Dec. 2019
After placing runner up the previous season of "the Voice Galveston" I entered again in season 3! All my hard work and dedication led to my success as I won the whole dang thing! I learned how to push myself out of my comfort zone, adapt, perform in front of a live audience, and network!
Runner up on "the Voice Galveston"
April 2019
This was my first time singing on a stage. Ever. It was terrifying. But the reason I even entered a competition like this was to learn how to perform, instead of just singing in my bedroom. And that's exactly what I did! I placed runner up, and learned everything I wanted and more!
Recording + Producing my 1st Album
2019-2023
I began forming my passion into tangible recordings. Got an KG P420 microphone for my Birthday, Ableton Live and a textbook on how to use a DAW and then taught myself everything. Now i teach others how to use Ableton and offer recording services from my studio in my home.
Songwriting
2018-present
I've been writing poetry and journaling my whole life to cope with trauma. Inspired to pursue my dreams, I learned songwriting through YouTube and picked up the ukulele. Over the years, I've progressed and now write for others in addition to releasing albums. I actively seek opportunities to learn new songwriting techniques through local collaborations and online with other musicians.
Started doing open mics
2018-present
Before songwriting, I wanted to perform outside my bedroom, so I started doing open mics around my city. Then COVID hit, and I faced serious health issues. After many ups and downs, I now regularly attend open mics in nearby cities, thanks to the vaccine.
Taught myself how to play Ukulele
2010-present
In high school, performing as a percussionist wasn’t enough, so I picked up a ukulele, inspired by Christopher Drew, and taught myself some chords. I kept it nearby through adulthood but started seriously pursuing music in 2015. I initially created content by singing covers before finding my passion for songwriting and streaming on Twitch.
Studied Percussion + Music Theory
2006-2013
In middle and high school, if I wasn’t in class, I was practicing marimba, snare, or piano, immersing myself in music theory and composition. I spent two years on the snare line and two on keyboard, participating in every solo and band competition. At one point, I was the highest-ranked female percussionist in my area for my age. I took lessons and diligently honed my craft, skills I still use today.
