Composing | Arranging
“I’ve really enjoyed arranging artists like Snoh Aalegra and Solange. My latest arrangement is Telepatía by Kali Uchis, which is really fun to play. I love Bach, and lately, I have been transcribing Debussy piano works which I really enjoy. Lately, I have also enjoyed the works of William Grant. Still, a black composer I grew up listening to gained his due recognition in the classical world and beyond. I’m excited to perform his concerto for harp, Ennanga (based on the traditional harp of Uganda), with Orchestra 2001 this fall. ”

GRAMMY WIN!
"This recording was for Geoffrey Keezer's album "Playdate" and the track "Refuge" won for best instrumental composition. We recorded it at Bunker Studio in Brooklyn, NY in March 2022.
"I played on the tracks Refuge and Bebah. Geoffrey had pre-written harp parts but asked me to ad-lib a few extra flourishes in the studio. Some of his composition and writing style were inspired by Alice Coltrane, so he asked for that to be mimicked in the glissandi in the intro of Refuge. It was so much fun because the 17-piece orchestra was made of great musicians."

EDUCATOR
“Teaching has been incredibly fulfilling for me. Communicating my love for the instrument to youth and BIPOC youth has been extremely important to me. Because I could start the harp at my school, it has been meaningful to create that same access point for other students.”
