Composer’s Spotlight ~ A Blog Series Designed to Honor, Showcase, and Celebrate YOU!

A blog series where we uncover the stories that lie within the experience of amazing performers as they play the music of a single composer (which happens to be me!) that inspires, empowers, and frees them to be more of who they authentically are.

BLOG & MINI-INTERVIEW SERIES

The Composer’s Spotlight Series is dedicated to spotlighting the individuality and creative expression of the performers who channel their artistic prowess to interpret and embrace my compositions. Through this series, I aim to pay homage to their dedication and devotion, as well as to highlight their unique stories and journeys that intertwine with my musical pieces.
