Girls Together by Ralph out now! Produced by me 👯‍♀️ I love pop music. It’s so satisfying when you get the sounds just right. Combining the intense, morphing grit of the bass with nostalgia and a glimmer of hope in that major 9th chord that arrives on top. You gotta be unafraid to reference or not reference👩‍🎤Thank you Ralph and her team for trusting me with this song!

Rethink My Life (Without You) is out now! It’s so special getting to not only co-write and produce the music, but also shooting the cover art! I’d like to thank Annalise & her team for believing in me and allowing me to play such a big role in her upcoming EP! Thank you Spotify for adding it to Pop All Day!

Today, my dad would have turned 64. Unfortunately, he passed away a few months ago. I wish I had more time with him, but our journey together has been cut short. I’m grateful for the years that we did have. What he taught me will always stay with me forever. Happy birthday, Haibin Gao

I remember moving to Toronto for the first time and hearing Juno-nominated artist Ralph on the radio - I would’ve never thought I’d end up making music together with this legend! Loved being a part of this dream team of some of the best talent in the city. Dangerous Nostalgia let’s go!!!!!
