Releasing music independently, I've built a dedicated fan base with over 200k monthly listeners and more than 6 million streams. In 2022, I was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, a testament to their exceptional talent and contributions to the music industry. Holding a Master’s Degree in Music Composition, I combine technical expertise with creative innovation. For the past four years, I've been living in New York City, actively collaborating, playing shows, and participating in songwriting camps. I am a Teaching Artist at the Motown Museum in Detroit, where I facilitate and teach high school summer camps and I have taught several Masterclasses (Oakland University, NYU, Rollins College). As a teacher, I'm passionate about helping students find their voice and I want to be their mentor in through their musical journey, whether that's through vocal lessons, songwriting practices and workshops, piano lessons, or lessons on royalties and the business side of music, I am dedicated to tailoring the learning experience to each student's goals and vision. For those who don't have specific goals, I aim to guide them in building their aspirations and navigating the modern music industry. With a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of both the creative and business.
