Return of the Muse: Adventures in Music, Magic & Momentum

Hello, dear friends and supportive fans!

It’s been a while since I graced this blog space, and I want to reconnect with all of you. I truly appreciate your patience while I've been off on my artistic adventures. Life can sometimes whisk us away into transitions that are both exhilarating and demanding, and I am beyond excited to share my journey of newfound fulfillment, performances, and incredible experiences that have filled my heart with joy.

I’ve been fully immersed in performances and learning new skills, taking life by the reins and letting my creativity guide me. These past few months have been a whirlwind of growth, and I can honestly say that I have never felt more productive or alive.

The Artist Awakens: Breaking Boundaries & Building Skills

Since my last post, I’ve taken substantial steps in my artistic journey. Pushing my limits is thrilling, and I’ve dived into expanding my skillset. From perfecting my vocal ranges to exploring new genres of music, every moment has been an opportunity for growth.

Most recently, I had the privilege of performing my dream role as Lucia di Lammermoor. Lucia is known for her emotional depth and musical complexity. It is definitely a demanding role and stepping into her shoes felt like coming home, the experience was absolutely magical.

This role allowed me to connect deeply with the audience. Everyone was entranced, I felt their energy—almost tangible—and learned so much about my voice and the power of storytelling through music.

A Dream Stage Awaits: Countdown to Carnegie

As if my recent performance wasn't enough to celebrate, I am thrilled to announce that I am preparing to sing a solo in a stunning choral piece at Carnegie Hall! This is a monumental milestone; only about 15% of artists get to perform on such a prestigious stage. I can hardly express how elated I feel.

The prospect of performing there fills me with excitement. It’s a testament to the hard work, dedication, and countless hours spent honing my craft. I can't wait to share more details with you as the date approaches, and I promise to keep you updated about this unforgettable experience!

Where Gospel Meets Opera: My Cinematic Debut

In another unexpected twist, I’ve been cast in a musical theatre gospel film! This is an adventure I never anticipated but wholeheartedly embrace. The world of musical theater has always been fascinating to me, and being offered a role in a film that merges this with gospel and opera music feels like a dream come true.

While I can’t reveal too much just yet, I assure you that the whole experience promises to celebrate music, faith, and community. We'll explore themes that resonate with many, as studies show that music can increase feelings of connectedness in groups by 30%. I am excited to dive deep into character development as we rehearse. This will be my first time shooting at a state of the art film studio and I have always longed to be an actor so this feels like a monumental moment!

My Why: You, Us, and the Power of Shared Art

If you know me, you know I love to reflect and as I embark on these thrilling adventures, I reflect on the importance of community and connection. Each performance, each note sung, and each role embraced brings me a greater understanding of my artistic journey. I am incredibly thankful to have you by my side as my true fans and supporters.

During this breakthrough in my artistry, my focus has remained on sharing these experiences with you, I actually think about it constantly but alas it is still a skill I am honing. It has been tempting to keep everything to myself, as my excitement bubbles internally, but reconnecting with all of you through this platform is invaluable.
