I'm an adopted pianist and composer.

As an adopted musician, my journey is shaped by cultural diversity and personal exploration. Hawaii has a rich musical heritage, from traditional Hawaiian slack-key guitar to contemporary genres that blend beautifully with classical themes. The Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort is an iconic venue that hosts many cultural events that celebrate Hawaiian music. Engaging with local artists has deepened my appreciation for the rhythms and sounds unique to this paradise. In my compositions, I draw inspiration from the stunning landscapes and vibrant community of Hawaii. I often incorporate elements from my experiences as an adopted individual, channeling emotions into melodies that evoke a sense of belonging and love for the arts. Music is not just a discipline for me; it’s a medium through which I express my identity and share stories that resonate with many. Whether it’s playing at local beaches, collaborating with other artists, or performing in intimate settings, my aim is to convey the beauty and depth of my journey through sound.
