After nearly two years of being closed, Rockwood Music Hall is re-opening Stage 1, the coziest venue to see/play shows in NYC. They’ve invited me to celebrate the re-opening and I couldn’t be more pumped. Please join Marques, Alan and Cian and I for a very special set on Tuesday, March 1st at 8pm. No cover, just very happy vibes!
I have been selected as an official Wammie Award finalist in four categories, including Best Pop Artist, Best Pop Album: ‘Dazy‘, Best Pop Song: “Something Good” and best Rock Song: “Feed The Fire.” It is all thanks to your amazing support! Thank you for voting, sharing and caring. This will be my first awards show… time to go shopping! 
I’ve been nominated for a few Washington Area Music Association Awards (akaThe Wammie Awards) including Best Pop Artist, Best Pop Album (‘Dazy‘), Best Pop Song (“Something Good” and “Newest So & So“), and Best Rock Song (“Feed the Fire“).
I need your help voting me into the top 7 of each category! It’s simple, free, and takes a matter of minutes. Cast your vote by creating an account here, check your email for a confirmation link, then search for my name. All of my nominations will appear, eagerly awaiting your vote!
Each and every vote would be so very much appreciated and must be made by January 31st.
I didn’t realize I was making such a life-affirming decision 900 days ago, but since then I’ve been graced by the constant company of clarity, inspiration, and a renewed appreciation for my breath. I know this isn’t the needed path for everyone, but it’s been right for me and I’m happy to be traveling on it. 
My morning has just become much brighter thanks to WFUV! They played “Something Good” as apart of their “NY Slice Series.”
I’ve been very focused and driven this year, and often things don’t work out the way that I had hoped. But this mention and shoutout on FM radio just made me believe in myself enough to keep pushing and working harder than ever.
Here is a little snippet and reaction! Hopefully it makes you smile 🙂
This Tuesday, November 23rd, NYC’s 90.7 WFUV will be playing “Something Good” as apart of their NY Slice series! You can listen live on the radio if you’re in the area, or tune in online 🙂
Man, I can’t get over how talented Rachel Estabrook is! Here is some #behindthescenes footage off the ‘Dazy’ cover photo shot. Props to @marqwallsnyc for setting it all up and going above and beyond, per usual. 💄🎨👨🏼🎤
It’s been three years in the making and I’m excited to say that Dazy is now out in the world! I’m proud and teary-eyed and feel as if I’m dropping off my child at school for the first time.
Dazy is a journey of self-discovery through loss, and is offered as a beacon of hope, especially to the most fragile among us. It has been getting some exciting features on NPR’s Alt. Latino and Medium’s Authority Magazine. And I’m so excited to share this work with you.
‘Dazy’ would not sound or look like anything without the help of these incredible artists:
