Meet the Act

I started playing violin when I was 10 years old. Through my teenage years I played in various youth orchestras. When I got to college I felt confusion on what path was meant for me during a low point in life. They say when you experience the "dark night of the soul", you come out of the other end changed for the better. I was inspired to take my playing seriously and make a career out of it. I worked rigorously (and with much whimsy) to be the concertmaster of the symphony at my university, achieved 1st runner up at the Hudson Valley Philharmonic x College Youth Symphony competition, attended ... a music program with Anatolia college in Greece where I played violin, composed, and sang in an operetta, and also graduated magna cum laude in the midst of the pandemic. My senior recital setlist featuring music across the ages and many cultures, and featured an original string quartet that I both composed and played in. Read More

Commissions for Musical Compositions

I also compose original compositions. I retain the rights to these compositions, however, I will allow sharing, usage, distribution, and recording of these compositions upon approval and with full credit to me as its creator. I can provide poetry with these compositions as well, for a contemporary twist I call "sound poetry"! These commissions are for personal use only, meaning the commissioner can NOT receive monetary gain from the music. I can write a tender romance for your anniversary picnic, a short medley or mash-up of your favorite songs, an elegy for a lost loved one, or a fiddle tune for your outdoor event!
