To learn how to truly, authentically express myself is the biggest challenge and gift in life.

To let go of the fear of judgement.

To resist the urge to mould myself into what I think will please others.

To unravel old beliefs that once defined me.

To stand strong in what I feel called to do, to believe in the vision I see even on the dense days.

To keep moving when everything seems to be standing still, and to stand still when everything is rushing past.

To stay open, compassionate and forgiving.

To laugh at my mistakes and witness the world’s suffering with grace.

These are the challenges that weigh heavily on me, but they are also what lead me to music.

I have yet to find another outlet with enough depth, beauty, pain and expansion to hold the complexities of the human experience.
