FUN FACT:

“I’m a strong believer in being in tune with myself. Music is a spiritual experience for me just as much as it is a career one! My compositional process has me often meditating before I get to work. Stilling the mind and connecting with oneself creates the way for an incredible untapped creative potential.“
