I want to be a voice for postive change in the world, and I use music and a means to be heard. Finding myself through music has been such an incredible journey, and I find connecting with others through songwriting such a moving experience. Artists like Patti Smith and Ani DiFranco inspire me to stand up for what I believe in and help create the world I want to live in.

I play cello and piano as well, although I've reached a point of stagnation on guitar lately... Specifically, I want to improve my composition skills. When I jam on guitar I find myself getting stuck in pentatonic boxes and I just sort of noodle, but the music doesn't have any purpose... I can't consciously create a melody to express what's in my head while I play like I can on other instruments, which can be exasperating, but I know if I just push through and keep learning I'll get to where I want to be. I'm looking forward to using this forum to help me through this rut!
