Hey everyone. So as you may have heard, I had a brand new laptop stolen, and it’s gone along with everything on it. I have learned my lesson about backing up/turning on Find My iPhone etc. So I’m gonna be taking some time to do the insurance thing and start re-making my demos once I have gear back. Apologies, I may be off-grid for a while. Hopefully I will still be able to release new music in the spring of 2019!
Had to include this banger tune by @thisismoonchild back in August!!! Vid by @h.y.p.e.g.o.s.h , bass by @marinalopezbass , guitar by @salvatoreparadisemusic drums by @zaynabwmusic #neosoul #thisismoonchild #moonchild #moonchildcover #thelist #thelistmoonchild #thelistcover @pickup____
Hey everyone! Wanted to say thank you for listening/watching/following/supporting me and my music 💜💙💜 I haven’t posted much lately because I have been working really hard on music and life stuff 😊 I will be taking some time this winter to rest and create in anticipation of releasing more music in 2019! 🎷🎤🎹 enjoy this pic of me age 16 😘
Posting to share some thoughts that have been really important to me lately. When I showed up in Toronto 3 years ago, I had never written a song. I had never accompanied myself on piano while singing in public. I had never had a voice lesson. I had never done a solo set. In fact, I had hardly any experience performing covers or performing as a vocalist in any capacity as a solo musician. I was coming out of 6 years of study as a jazz saxophonist and thought that was what I was going to be doing for a career. But suddenly all these other opportunities and challenges started coming up and I quickly had to adapt. Over the past 3 years, and I think even unconsciously during my university time, I started tuning in to the importance of transparency and honesty in any arts field. Musicians, dancers, visual artists and others cannot hide our journey. We are constantly under scrutiny from our professors, peers, competition, and the general public who are all going form opinions about whether or not we are “good enough”. If we are struggling, it will be obvious. If we are flourishing, it will be obvious. I began documenting my own journey and sharing it, first via YouTube and more recently on Instagram. I want to show the imperfections and the bumps and the challenges that go along with pursuing a career in performance. I want to show that although I consider myself a professional, I am and will always be striving to improve and learn more, as a keys player, as a vocalist, as a songwriter, as a solo, self-accompanied musician and as an ensemble player. Nothing I have ever created or performed has been perfect. Vocal technique in particular has been a wonderful challenge for me in the last year. I still put this out there to show the work, to show the time, to show the sweat and the emotional toll that goes into a musician’s journey. I share these imperfect clips of a recent solo performance to humbly acknowledge my place in my journey and to act as a stepping stone on my way to more accomplishments. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way and helped me to grow. I’ll be in pre-production for some 2019 singles in the next few months. Can’t wait to share!
