It feels like a really exciting time right now. Winter seems to be dying down; the days are longer; and it feels like my creative pursuits are bearing more fruit. I've started working on my first EP with producer Phillip Victor Bova (thanks to the contributions of my crowdfunding backers!) and can't wait to release polished songs and new interpretations of my music this spring.

I'm also looking forward to participating in some special events in the coming weeks and months.

Stay tuned for more details!

I'm thrilled to say that I reached 89% of my crowdfunding goal! Nearly all of my studio expenses for recording of my EP will be covered.

A big thank you to all my supporters out there who shared the campaign with their networks, made monetary contributions and sent well wishes.

I'm very much looking forward to getting started on my EP and will do my best to record a stellar album!

Stay tuned!
