“When you listen, you learn. Remember that. In music and in life” - Mitch Albom, The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto
Peaceful greetings and thanks for checking in.
Seasons changing. The message remains the same. Transition, we meet again. I've been in the classroom, fully certified to teach K-12. I am so pleased with this new chapter - learning through teaching. This has been a goal since November 2023, and by January 2026 it came true with intention and dication, focus, good work ethic, and gratitude for being able to choode my life path: “we can live many lives in this one life." Be, Do all that you want to.
I sit and write from a cafe in Toronto, returning to record my debut album! This is another seed planted in March 2025, and now it is coming to fruition. An 11-piece ensemble of respected friends and peers coming together at Revolution Recording studio to bring more colour and life to 11 of my original songs written between 2019 and 2025. Dream and live big, folks. May 16th will be an in-studio video recorded performance, get your tickets!
For now, thank you for your continued support of my 2025 MusicNL awarded EP, A way home . I am also CrowdFunding for the completion of this upcoming debut album, should you feel called to support this endeavour.
If you're looking for a journeying story, read the latest here.
Catch me at one of these performances (and/or help me get few more lined up!)
Gratitude for the gifts in everyone and everything.
Peace, wherever and however you may be.
