"Bad for Me"

Listen & Watch: Concert Video
When did you first discover theater/what was your first experience?

I first fell in love with Theatre at a community production of “A Little Night Music."

When/how did you become a writer? Is there a writer, show, or text that particularly inspired you?

I had been writing music for a while but began having a desire to create songs that were a part of a larger story. During the pandemic, my creative partner Jacob and I wrote our first musical “TEN YEAR.”

How do you describe your style/work?

I like to work in several different styles, but “Bad for Me” and TEN YEAR in general definitely is drawn from my singer/songwriter background.

What is most rewarding to you about writing music?

Hearing how stories that seem so personal to me can be so universal and human.
