✨ GOLDEN ✨ Go check out the FULL VERSION on my YouTube channel! ➡️ Link is in my bio and on my story! Before I say anything else, I need to give a huge thank you to the people who made this possible. Thank you to the AMAZING @rickystahl & @jaackssonn_ for jumping on board with my crazy idea. Getting to create this with two insanely talented humans was such a joy. ⭐️ Thank you to the INCREDIBLE @sublimeimage for bringing your talent to this project . Every shot you see was filmed by him (and they look stunning, if I do say so myself 🤩). And of course, thank you to @stephituppp , who is always my biggest supporter and never hesitates to help me bring these wild ideas to life. This truly wouldn’t have seen the light of day without you. As we wrap up 2025, I’m so excited to finally share my next project. A few months back, I pitched a fun little idea to Ricky and Tae, “Hey! Let’s do a cover of “Golden” as an all-male trio.”Fast forward to now, and after a lot of hard work, that idea has finally become a reality. Last year, I made a promise to myself to lean more into my creativity outside of work, and this project was a reminder of how much joy that brings me. Creating, producing, and performing are things I’m incredibly passionate about, and getting to combine all of them for this was truly special. I hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed making it. Thank you again to everyone who helped make this happen. 💛 #golden #kpopdemonhunters

Surpriseeeee 🎁✨ Been keeping this one pretty under wraps (no pun intended 😉) Truly beyond excited to share that I’ve joined the cast of Disney - Holidays in Hollywood at Jollywood Nights this year!!! There’s a special kind of magic in realizing how far you’ve come without even noticing when it happened. Every challenge, every stumble, every push to keep going, and every quiet day of work when no one was watching… Getting to moments like these isn’t easy. You just keep telling yourself to stay persistent even when it’s hard. I’m so proud of the version of me who once only dreamed of this and kept going until it became real. It’s truly an honor to spend my favorite time of year surrounded by such a talented cast. ✨💛

The Sanderson sisters walked so I could run… Amuck 🕺🏻 Another year with this spelltacular show! Grateful for every moment spent on this stage with these talented people… At last, the hocus pocus party potion is COMPLETE!!! ✨ 📸 @alwaysdisneybound @juleslouise.ent

Came for the circus, stayed for the Mooncalves 🎪🌕🪄 Surprise! In case you didn’t know, over the last month and a half I’ve had the pleasure of becoming part of the opening cast for Le Cirque Arcanus at Universal Epic Universe! This show truly is such a wonder to be a part of, and a spectacle like no other. Being a part of this incredible show, in this incredible brand new theme park is something I will treasure for the rest of my life. Thank you to everyone who made the process so special 🫶🏻 See you all under the moon because he’s officially APPROVED 🌝

26 They always say that your “frontal lobe” fully forms when you turn 25. Which I guess is code for becoming a “real” adult. I’m not sure if that’s exactly the case, but I do know that on my 25th trip around the sun, there were plenty of “real” moments. I consider myself to be a pretty happy person on the surface level. I have an amazing job, amazing friends, and have been blessed with several opportunities I once thought to be impossible. However, people also always say there’s a lot more going on than what you see on the surface. It may have taken me 25 years to truly understand that, but you never really do until you become the definition of it. To say 25 was a hard year for me would be, well, one way to describe things. Difficult times in my life are things I usually keep to myself and I don’t like to bring forward because, from the outside looking in, I should have no reason to feel the way I do sometimes. 6 years ago, if I would’ve known someone like current me, I would’ve been so jealous. I would’ve spent every night hoping to have a fraction of the life current me has. You don’t realize all the things that can happen during that “in between phase” of getting to that “ideal” life you want. All you see is the things future you can have but doesn’t yet. I don’t say all of this to be negative and make the notion that my life is the absolute worst, because it’s not. My life? My life is amazing! Myself? Myself isn’t always feeling amazing. I think it’s important that I was able to truly recognize that about myself during 25, and I’m hoping that 26 can be the start of truly healing from past experiences. Life is beautiful, life is hard, but life is worth living.

Link is in my bio and story! As much as I love performing—there’s always been a part of me that’s equally as passionate for creating and composing. Over the past couple of months, I’ve been working on a concept that blends those two passions into my take on what I imagine “Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away” could sound and look like. I’ve always loved Disney’s incredible nighttime parades. Throwback to high school me watching a video of Paint the Night and telling myself “I wanna do something like that one day.” So after seeing the announcement of Starlight and Disney teasing the return of Paint the Night, I decided to create my own version. Using the concept art Disney released as inspiration, I created a complete soundtrack, costumes, and filled the rest of the parade with my own ideas for units. All the music, vocals, and art (aside from what Disney has already released) was created by me. Also HUGE shoutout to @ryan_caroline42 for lending me her beautiful vocals for the parts that I simply could not sing myself. 😅 If you’ve seen me glued to my laptop or iPad recently, this is why. Even if it meant sacrificing what little free time I have outside of work, and at work… 🤣 I told myself I needed to devote more time to my own creative projects this year and this has been my passion project lately. To anyone who takes a moment to check it out, thank you. I really hope you enjoy it, this is a reflection of something I truly love doing. I know spending so much time on something with no “real” purpose might seem silly to some, but for me, it’s a reminder to indulge in things you love to do, even if it’s just for yourself. One day, maybe I can do this for real—creating and bringing something to life on a grander scale. Enjoy ✨
