This album debuts my ability to seamlessly blend classical and world music with the boundless creativity of jazz. It is a deeply personal project, drawing inspiration from the many joys and struggles I have faced throughout my life…
My vision was to create a diverse, expressive, and artistic collection of compositions that resonate with a broad audience while exploring new frontiers. Each song is like a canvas, meant to convey a specific mood or idea, much akin to the style of impressionistic art. Sitting at the piano, I see myself as a painter, using my keys to craft an aural painting, adding vibrant colors and textures to the musical tapestry ‘.
