This song started as a cute song about a small sparrow, but quickly evolved into a metaphor for accidentally leading someone on.
how i miss you
Songwriting usually starts when my brain is too crowded to hold everything in.
Find the Key
My song “Find the key” is about how maybe life isn’t going the way you’d like it to, but it’s going to keep on moving whether or not you are coming with it.
This is What's Left at Home
I made this piece by creating the chords, bassline, and digital drum track first, and then I improvised on guitar to the track.
Drowning in the Dark
This was my first ever complete song and I wrote it during a time where everything around me was changing and I felt lost and needed someway to get those feelings out.
Set me Free
This song was written to express the hardships and the good and bad I experience every day as a growing individual.
Smoke'N Mirrors
This work was made as a project for school and is a representation of sounds that I like and my ability to use them so the compliment each other.
That Dream
My song, "That Dream," captures the feeling of waking up and realizing you can’t remember what you just dreamt.
The Blues Can Sneak Up on You
“The Blues Can Sneak Up on You” began as a rhythmic experiment: I wanted to shift between a funky, even-eighths feel (in the ‘A’ section) and a buoyant, swing feel (in the ‘B’ section).
Weight of the World
I wrote this song about the whole mess going on in the United States right now.
I Wish She Loved Me Like That
I initially started writing this song as a more general sappy yearning love song, it was only during the process of writing the lyrics that I realized I kept thinking of and writing about a friend of mine and her relationship.
