Maintaining relevance and honoring the past are a part of my core tenants, and as a musician I achieve these through musical consumption. Before streaming, I made loved ones mixtapes that peppered in the mainstream, oldies, and hidden gems. Now, 50+ Spotify playlists later, these curations represent what excites me. Therefore, as I believe sharing music is a love language, I share with you my favorites in hopes they spark joy in your life.
