- When did you first discover theater/what was your first experience?
I was cast as a newsboy in Gypsy in the 4th grade. After that I started doing a lot of community theater in my hometown and fell in love!
- When/how did you become a writer? Is there a writer, show, or text that particularly inspired you?
I had always written melodies on my piano but was inspired to add lyrics to my music after I studied abroad in London. Seeing so many amazing shows left me eager to write from my own perspective.
- How do you describe your style/work?
I would describe my writing style as a blend of pop/MT styles - I try to incorporate lyrical melodies that have a strong emotional quality with exciting contemporary rhythms and harmonies!
- What is most rewarding to you about writing music?
Hearing other people perform my songs is always the most rewarding part. As a singer myself, it's fun to see how other singers interpret my music and bring their ideas to the table.
