Passion
I grew up in a household where music was always playing! Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, I started taking piano lessons at 6 years old and quickly developed a passion for it. I am incredibly grateful for my parents, who supported me along that journey, and my piano teacher, George Peter Tingley, who encouraged my creativity and taught me his tricks with composing music.
Creation
I enjoyed the creative musical process from a young age. At 7 years old, I won the California PTA Reflections State Championship for solo piano composition, and I continued to learn the art of composing with the guidance of my teacher. In college, I obtained a Music Minor at the University of California, Davis with a Major in International Relations - Global Environment, Health, and Natural Resources.
Inspiration
I often find inspiration from the musicians that I grew up listening to, including classical artists such as Chopin and Erik Satie, or modern artists like Philip Glass, Hans Zimmer, Chloe Flower, or my own piano teacher (George Peter Tingley). I'm also frequently inspired by life events, world news, or the natural environment around me.
