Original Music and Live Performances

Composer, Collaborator, Multi-instrumentalist

When I began my musical journey as a classically-trained clarinettist, I never expected I would create original music. Moving to New York City gave me the confidence to claim space as a composer and multi-instrumentalist.

My first track papillon is an ambient meditation on transformation and includes strings, flute, synths and field recordings of native New Zealand birds (taken by my dad). You can find my new work on bandcamp, spotify and other streaming sites.

“When I play music, I want to feel weightless. I want my instrument to vibrate and sing back to me in a song as rich as honey. I want to feel so locked into my body that the air I draw into my lungs is pulled directly from the earth. I want to play with a chosen family who push and pull against each other as reliably as the tides.

I hope to make music that is poetic and inevitable.”
