This album is a culmination of separate projects coming together to be one. Being able to get friends, former students, and colleagues collaborating on new music was a true joy. Each set respects a different part of my life. Tamika's songs tap into my love of jazz and R&B within the art song paradigm; Wesley's cover my love of video game related material and the vastness that the genre covers; Rishi touches on the humanity in musical theatre and cabaret styles; and Dylan's set brings a cinematic quality to the fraught relationship with a family member. I enjoy putting many different kinds of styles within one all encompassing project and letting the voice adapt to the expressive needs of each song. The depth within each song and set show the power of new music from underrepresented voices. I hope you enjoy the ride.
