my why

Since childhood, I’ve seen the power of music transform people’s lives. And I’ve witnessed time and again what can happen when you approach another person heart to heart as a fellow human deserving of respect and care.

Compassion is powerful. Music is powerful.

Together, their transformative potential never ceases to humble me.
