Whatever path I take, I seem to choose a course that requires long hours of sitting at the keyboard, whether it be in the musical form or the computer form. My coding journey began early in 2021, around May, as I finished my offline, covid-friendly requirements for my Master's in Piano Performance at the Manhattan School of Music (MSM).
For some artists, genre is a box to be respected. For others, it’s a sandbox to play in. For me, it’s always been the latter. I thrive on variety and transformation. Whether it’s slipping into a folk aesthetic, leaning into experimental textures, or drawing from my classical training, I’m most alive when I’m moving fluidly between worlds. Genre, to me, isn’t a destination, it’s a set of tools, moods, and histories I can call on to tell a story.
