"I call it my musicality reality, as I love all genres from funk to R&B, jazz, country folk, and cinematic scores. My compositions reflect an ever-evolving blend of all of them. The focus of my compositions is pairing Jazz, Soul, and a melting pot of groove-based sounds into crossovers with ambient, and classical orchestration. "

Mixology that charts new ground and paves new pipes. The Ambient voices in the ethereal scores most assuredly surprise, and often transcend the listener with their unpredictable cinematic fusions.
There is an authenticity that is the real deal in her songs, misted in ethereal, dreamy ambiance, soulful in sound, yet sublimely woven in a style that is distinctly her own.
