- When did you first discover theater/what was your first experience?
When I was 10, I was cast in a community production of "Oliver!" I caught the bug and never looked back!
- When/how did you become a writer? Is there a writer, show, or text that particularly inspired you?
Though I've been playing music my whole life, I cracked open my love for writing when I formed a band in high school. "Company" is a great inspiration---I love its structure, heart and sly humor.
- How do you describe your style/work?
These are weird times to be a young adult, so I especially enjoy making music that gives voice to the Gen-Z/Millennial experience. Tonally, I love filtering retro-pop sounds through a narrative lens.
- What is most rewarding to you about writing music?
I find catharsis through music writing--giving form and order to my flurrying thoughts and feelings. And of course, nothing is more exhilarating than seeing how an audience reacts!
