May Recap!

Testing out a new way of sharing things with you all! Here are my May highlights :)

1. Lost Cause Is Out Now On All Platforms!

My single “Lost Cause” released on May 2nd and I couldn't be more grateful to share it with you! Lost Cause is a song I wrote during my first year at Berklee. At the time I was struggling a lot with finding my place in Boston and letting go of the life I had in St. Pete. It’s a song about distance, change, heartbreak, and stress. However, just as my first year at Berklee was a mix of heartache and exciting new things, Lost Cause is upbeat and dance-able in production, representing the mixed emotions of being alone in a city for the first time. It's loud and colorful and lonely and full of passion. This song is so me. I feel so much closer to all of you when I get to perform it. You can stream it on any platform now! If you haven’t already, please go check it out!

2. Lost Cause Release Show

We got to celebrate Lost Cause’s release the night that it came out with a release show at The Lilypad in Boston. The band had so much fun, pulling out phone-call-bits and space helmet dancing. Crowded Mind and Sofia Devitt shared the stage with us and killed it (as they always do).

3. Half-Way Through College

Somewhere within all this release chaos, I finished my 4th semester at Berklee! I had some big final projects due (including writing a score for a movie clip, an acapella arrangement, and many songwriting prompts) and getting it all done took a lot out of me. Thank god for Summer break! I'm half way through college I guess, wild.

4. New Band Alert!

After the semester ended I flew back home to St. Petersburg, FL to spend time with family. I’m here until September, so I started up a summer band with my close friends Madelyn Everist and Hannah Phillips. We go by Short-Term Girlfriend, a collaborative project that aims to showcase songs from each member's individual careers. Which means you can hear Lost Cause and some more of my new songs live in St. Pete now!
