Biography:
I make music for people who genuinely connect with the sound. I started singing jazz around 13, making small cover albums where I chopped up Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra songs into duet-style tracks. My first solo album that I considered listenable was Is This Real Love, released during my freshman year of high school, which did well on my YouTube channel. I mainly uploaded my music there until I released Swing Brasileiro, my first bossa nova project. Although I had never made bossa nova before, it became a sound I truly loved, which pushed me to release my music on streaming services. I later released Moonlit Walk, which many consider my strongest work, and eventually brought Is This Real Love to streaming as well. Now a sophomore, I continue to grow as an artist, with Nat King Cole as my biggest inspiration, and I plan to keep working hard to meet the demand.
