Throwback to my first ever headshots (obviously taken by @saphrenlisephotography )
POV: the year is 2019, youāre 21 years old and in the 4th year of a music degree- between school ensembles, other rehearsals, classes, and teaching private lessons, music isnāt really fun anymore BUT one day on the bus you hear a song that instantly has you hooked and suddenly listening to music is fun for the first time in a whileā¦.
Around the time when this picture was taken, I listened to Elis Reginaās album āFalso Brilhanteā for the first time and my fascination with Elis was born- I love listening to how much of herself she poured into every song she sang, and I love singing her songs so Iām super excited about this show on November 20th!!!
