Details:
I feel uncomfortable talking about myself from the third person because I think that one person talking about me is plenty. Growing up in Catonsville, MD with a younger sister and educators for parents, I happily took piano lessons for 8 years, developing my love for music. After my family went through the death of my father, I stopped taking formal lessons, but started to develop ideas about spirituality that would eventually influence my own music. Traveling to Boulder, Colorado for my collegial years helped me to solidify a love for the mountains as well as a starting point for writing my first album,â Brains in Bubblesâ. By the end of my 4 years, however, I got the itch to move back East with some very close friends, hence my last two years teaching in Bedford-Stuyvesant, a neighborhood in Brooklyn. This is where I spent the most challenging years of my life, thus far. Itâs also where I recorded the album Moons & Stars Convene with Craig Levy as a kind of tribute to all of the amazing people and places I have encountered. I have been lucky enough to travel to Africa, where I climbed Kilimanjaro, and India, where I discovered the birth of Eastern philosophies. I have been luckiest, though, in always being surrounded by people who have supported me and loved me in every way. Now that Iâve finished with a tour in a grease-powered RV with my roommates in New York (www.thebreakfreeproject.org), Iâve landed in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, where Iâll be for the time being.
