🎄 A Christmas Moment — and a Look at What’s Coming Next View on the web → Hi Reader, On Christmas Eve as Deanna and I were getting into bed, I felt a wave of nostalgia. This year I wasn't with my family, and I found myself missing a simple tradition — my uncle playing guitar while we all sing Christmas carols together around the tree. On a whim, I suggested we pull up a Christmas carol karaoke video and sing one before bed. We did… and then another. Something in the room softened. The festive...

I'm really excited to share my latest composition "Take Flight" with you!

Solfeggio Frequency Singing & Piano [New Music] View on the web → Hi Reader, A couple days ago I was listening to music at the 528 Hz solfeggio frequency. It put me in an relaxed state and I naturally found myself singing along. I hit record and captured whatever came out in the flow of the moment. I'm a little shy to share this as it's raw and not "perfect" 🙈 I'm also excited to share it because it was a special moment of presence that brought me peace. 🎧 528 Hz Inviting Miracles musings on...

I would have transcendent experiences while listening to music; traveling...

Mastering Orchestral Music at AIR Studios View on the web → Hi Reader, Last year I had the pleasure of recording 3 of my pieces with the Northern Film Orchestra: Snow-Covered Earth, Spring Bloom, and Eskimo Bob Overture. A lot of pre-production work goes into preparing the scores and sheet music for the conductor and 60 musicians. The rush of energy and excitement that I feel when the orchestra brings the music to life makes it all worth it! On the journey of producing a final product, it...

Hi Reader, Do you ever feel like you don't know where you're going? 🥹 Last night I sang with a community choir I'm a part of and there's a particular song we sang that touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. It's called "You and the Sea". You can listen to a recording of us singing it and sing along if you'd like! Here are the lyrics: I don't know where I'm going,But I know just what I need.A soft wind,The shelter of the forest,Birdsong,You and the sea. There's something so profound...
