Hey, I’ve been a little sad lately but here are some moments of joy with friends.
I am excited to share new music with you soon, especially my second single coming out next week.

It's a 2 SXSW shows kinda work trip!
We will be taking over the rooftop of @contemporaryatx tomorrow, bringing global stories of women's health to @sxsw
Event is open to all SXSW badge holders. If you're in town and don't have a badge, hit me up!
I am elated to have @steele.strings present a generous amuse bouche of her art. Black Divas exists in part, to highlight the excellence of black mothers who offer a variety of musical offerings. Join us for a screening of Black Divas PBS in partnership with @sohohouse Austin.
There are only a handful of seats remaining for this very intimate evening.
Comment DIVA for a lottery entry.

If you missed our collab this week, we made some music and chatted about life!
After we made music together, Christina took me to one of her favorite Indian food restaurants in Austin, TX.
Yum!

One thing that I really value in my creative process (more than ever these days) is connection.
It was a gift to connect with Christina and chat about life, make music together, and be inspired by how she moves through the world.

How do you show up?
Given that the title of my first EP is “Show Up”, what Chrisitna is sharing really speaks to the heart.

It was fun and interesting to figure out how we wanted to translate this piece of music for bass, violin, and both of our voices.
Christina opened up a lot of space for us to wonder, wander, and lean into arranging this piece.

I marvel at Christina’s tone and the beautiful sonic universe she creates with her pedal board and effects.
Fun fact: She recently created a body of music to help folks calm their nervous system. Go check her out right nowwwww
