<div>During the pandemic, I found myself unable to perform or create music as I had before. That period forced me to confront many internal battles and emotions, including revisiting the grief and loss I experienced years ago after losing a parent. Processing those feelings so many years later became a central part of my journey, and the music I wrote during those months reflects the process of unpacking emotions, processing change, and finding hope when my world felt upside down. This album is the result of that growth, and each track is a piece of the story I lived through.

<div>Now, I’m ready to bring these songs to life as my first full album as an independent jazz artist. I’ll be collaborating with my trio and featuring talented artists, including a guitarist and vocalist, to create a project that’s both personal and communal. The funds raised will go directly toward studio time, mixing, mastering, and album artwork—every step needed to make this release as meaningful and professional as possible. I plan to start recording in November and am aiming for a 2026 release, sharing this journey with everyone who’s been part of my story.

<div>I’m reaching out to my family and close friends, the people who have supported me throughout my career. Your encouragement and love have helped me get to this point, and I could never thank you enough. Having your support for this album would mean the world to me, and I hope you’ll join me in making this dream a reality.
