Fora the Musical wins prestigious Award
I am so excited to announce that Fora, a musical written by Jae Broderick and myself, has won the prestigious Pipeline Arts Foundation Award. This is such a huge honor, and we are completely humbled to have been picked as a winner.
​
Fora found a lot of early success, with two residencies, one at the prestigious O'Neill center, as well as performances at NYMF, but when COVID hit and the theater industry shut down, it unfortunately went to the backburner. Now that things are back in full swing, we are so glad it is finding success again, and are so excited for it to make it to the next level.

bUMS Release
Feature Film finds Home on MGM Amazon
I am INCREDIBLY excited to announce that a feature film I had the pleasure of scoring entitled "bUMS", directed by the amazing Jason Rafael, has found a home on MGM Amazon. I'm super proud of this film, and that it was picked up by one of the top streaming services is incredible.
​
The film will release this August, and will also have a limited theatrical run. More details on that as I get them.
​
I can't wait for you all to see this film. I love how it came together, and it is incredibly brilliant. It's definitely going to make some waves!
Elements of Life
New Album coming this fall, single releasing 6/7
Surprise! I've quietly been working on a new album, entitled "Elements of Life". This is my biggest endeavor yet, with tons of live recording, and yours truly singing, a prospect which I am incredibly nervous about.
​
The album is going to release this fall, but the title track will be released as a single on 6/7, with presale starting 5/31. I can't wait for you all to hear it!
