What is some piece of advice you would give to yourself right now?Īs the old Louis Prima song says: “Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think!” I am so fortunate on so many levels, there’s no reason why I shouldn’t be allowing myself to enjoy every moment of every day. I hate to give the cliche answer here that everything happens for a reason – but that’s truly how I feel! I am not sure there’s any one thing I would do differently in my past because every decision I’ve made – even the bad ones – have brought me exactly where I am today. It was a huge accomplishment to release my first EP back in 2014 and that’s a close second, but this one is really special and I’m just trying to enjoy this moment while I’m in it as much as possible! I honestly think I am living this moment right now! I’ve had such amazing feedback from my new music with some radio airplay and I recently signed with a licensing company (which was a big dream come true). What is the achievement or moment in your career you are the most proud of and why? I can’t say there’s a specific person who inspires my aesthetics – I tend to walk the line between a witchy musician vibe in all black (hey, I did live in Brooklyn for many years!) and flowy healer vibe in all white. Once I have the basic idea recorded, I honestly usually go back to sleep and build the song the next day! Through the years, I’ve actually gotten pretty good at being able to recognize when I’m dreaming a song to be able to consciously wake myself up and sing/hum it into my phone. That said, I’d love to see these streaming platforms close the pay gap and share the wealth with the artists who are the reason their platforms can exist.Īs mentioned above, my songwriting process almost always starts in my dreams. While these companies are making billions off of their platforms while we make a few bucks a year from streams, it’s easy to feel the unfairness of it all and like we are being exploited. I think right now one thing we can all agree on is the abominably low royalty payments that artists get through streaming services. What is something you would want to change in the music and entertainment industry? As the song says, “Watch as another sin dances on the wind – there’s no love lost here…” 🙂 Plus, sometimes it’s nice to have a little freedom to get away with things that I never could in this reality. I often connect with men and women and wake up the next morning wishing I could see them again. I am a super vivid dreamer and feel so fortunate that I get to spend my non-waking hours having adventures. It actually came about in my dream – as most of my songs do – and I ended up also writing it about the dream world. My latest release, “Another Side” was the first single off of my upcoming record. Tell us about your latest release and how it came about. It’s one of those feel-good shows that I can watch whenever I need a laugh. I’d have to say Schitt’s Creek has been my favorite show in recent history. I’ve recently discovered that I can be just as productive and a whole lot more peaceful if I choose to have faith that the universe has my back! I definitely have a tendency to worry about things like money and success which totally taints the experience of life. Outside of that, my goal is to approach both of my dreams for growth in my music and business with as much peace as possible. My next single, Memory, will be out on March 17! I’ll be releasing a handful of singles over the coming months with the final 8 tracks out in the early Fall.

My biggest project for this year, in addition to continuing to grow my business as a Sound Healer, is releasing my debut full LP, “Wake Up, Dreamer”. I highly recommend sound healing to anyone hoping for a healthy dose of inspiration! The frequencies from the crystal bowls entrain with your brain’s natural frequencies and help to activate the theta state and the Default Mode Network (which is where the brain has creative thoughts and daydreams). Play my crystal singing bowls! This is actually exactly the reason I got into Vibrational Healing in the first place: while exploring ways to move through creative blocks without the need for any drugs or alcohol. What do you do when you’re feeling uninspired? I saw Chairlift perform a number of times when I lived in Brooklyn so it’s been awesome to hear her solo stuff! I’ve had tickets to see her at the Ryman for over 2 years and it keeps getting pushed back – hopefully this will be my year 🙂 One more artist that fell on my radar towards the end of last year was Caroline Polachek. I’m also really into most everything that LP does. I am super inspired by her attitude, honesty and talent and it’s been awesome to watch her music and live performances take off so much in the short time I’ve known her. One of my favorite artists period who also happens to be a local friend of mine is Notelle.
