Information & Personal Biography

I started with music at a very young age: I was four when I first took piano lessons, and six when I first transfered to vocal music. Within this time, I had first begun singing lessons as well as eventually training for my first Royal Conservatory (RCM) exam at the age of 7. I completed the first exam (beginning in Level 2) with Honours the year after. I was 11 when I completed Level 3, and finished with First-Class Honours. 

At the age of 8, after already being in multiple recitals, I began performing songs from artists I loved (and still do!): namely, Taylor Swift and Adele for school shows and competitions.  I performed at talent shows, concerts and in choirs all through elementary school and in extracurriculars.  

​

Once I finished Level 3 RCM, I began learning guitar at 12 years old, the same time as I began songwriting. I am a self-taught gutarist of 7 years, having only started structured lessons recently. The instruments I use most are guitar and piano respectively, although I do also have some experience on ukulele, and my piano is strictly self-taught.  

At the age of 13, I took to organized theatre as my extracurricular, while still participating in school and outside recitals/performances. I continued with theatre through to the first part of high school, until I enrolled in the Vocal Music course ("Vocals") and became part of the concert choir there. I was an active member in both ensembles throughout all of high school; which I sincerely loved and am greatly impacted by. I was in as many live performances as I could handle until the pandemic forced closure on most of what I was involved in. I lost Vocals, but I graduated high school being able to participate in choir through online rehearsals and virtual performances. During that time, I did get to learn basic production skills through various courses and opportunities, which I now use to record demos of my own work.

Through all of that, writing songs and blending lyric with chord and melody has always been a staple in my form of expression. It's become something that I need in order to process properly-- but moreover, fully.

​

I am now in the process of completing Level 6 RCM while in my second year of University  and am thrilled about being part of the Concert Choir within the Fine Arts program. I am looking forward to attempting to make something out of experience in what I create, and I'm ready to embrace whatever awaits!
