- When did you first discover theater/what was your first experience?
When I was four years old, I saw The Lion King and it changed my life forever.
- When/how did you become a writer? Is there a writer, show, or text that particularly inspired you?
I had the incredible opportunity to take a musical theater writing course in college taught by Ryan Scott Oliver who taught me almost everything I know about songwriting and I haven't stopped since.
- How do you describe your style/work?
My stories are always influenced by some facet of myself. Even in the sense of the music, it is all comprised of various genres and writers/composers I have been inspired by throughout my life.
- What is most rewarding to you about writing music?
As a performer of color, I often get frustrated at the lack of representation available to us and to be able to make space for more stories told by or about brown people is what inspires me to write.
