Something that’s always inspired me is how music finds its way into someone’s life. Whether through a recommendation, a performance, or a completely unexpected encounter, there are many reasons a song can be difficult, of even impossible to get out of one’s head.

This is my catalogue of those discoveries. I am interested to learn more not only about what an artist creates, but also how their work resonates, the stories that they tell, they relationships and audiences they build, and the gleaming moments where their music seems to truly connect with someone.

My listening habits, and taste, are constantly evolving - with every gig I attend or every recommendation I get from a friend. My evolution in music has only been pushed forward by the sheer exposure to talented artists ad kee listeners near me. Writing about music has made me focus on the sounds I like even more - what sticks, why people break through, and how the experience of hearing music changes when it moves from headphones to a live stage.

Ultimately, I want to use this platform as a way to observe music (not pretentiously, I promise), remain curious, and occasionally deep dive into the artist who make me stop, listen, and loop.
