- When did you first discover theater/what was your first experience?
My 2nd grade school music "Bugz" where I got to play the stinkbug! My track did not get to sing unfortunately, but it was a huge milestone for me nonetheless.
- When/how did you become a writer? Is there a writer, show, or text that particularly inspired you?
I started getting into writing when I was 14, when a friend and I wrote a Hunger Games musical. As a kid, I was always drawn to Mariah Carey with her catchy melodies and sophisticated lyrics.
- How do you describe your style/work?
My writing embodies a 50/50 mix of pop & musical theatre. My progressions/melodies tend to be very "hooky" but I try to write lyrics that are more based in storytelling and read more theatrical.
- What is most rewarding to you about writing music?
There is no greater feeling than when someone says they can relate to your song. Music is the perfect vehicle to express complicated, yet universal, emotions and circumstances!
