Cat’s out of the bag! I know where I’ll be this August 11th: hearing my singing in movie theaters on the incredible soundtrack to Gran Turismo scored by Lorne Balfe and Andrew Kawczynski. The Hollywood film stars David Harbour, Orlando Bloom, and more. I am so honored to have been asked to sing for this team of artists whom I admire so much. 🥰 Let me know if you see the movie and what you think!
Composers, producers, and vocalist friends: how can you effectively communicate the sound you want to capture from a singer’s performance? Follow these tips as I demonstrate 3 "cinematic" singing styles, using the exact same melody and instrumental! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pab2...
This is my third music production tutorial - check out the “pop stack” and vocal mixing videos here on my channel as well.

zircon's "Arcology" album Kickstarter is officially ~100% FUNDED!!!~ 😍🙏 Thank you so, so much from the bottom of our hearts for helping us reach this milestone. www.kickstarter.com/projects/zircon/arcology-the-n…
The first stretch goal (a livestream concert with the two of us performing music from Arcology and Identity Sequence) has already been announced, but stay tuned for more! With your support and help spreading the word, the sky's the limit. 😄 It's not too late to join in on the fun!
I could not possibly be more excited to share with you my brand new music video with zircon - “Take Me Away” as well as his KICKSTARTER crowdfunding campaign for the album, Arcology! www.kickstarter.com/projects/zircon/arcology-the-n…
Arcology is an upcoming, genre-spanning organic EDM album about the far future, where technology meets our every need in an enclosed megapolis. But with this comes a sense of stagnation, melancholy, and yearning for what lies beyond. “Take Me Away” tells the story of our main protagonist, who dreams of what it could be like to explore the mysterious world outside her home in the arcology, the only one she has ever known.
This video is co-directed and filmed by the amazing Ian Jared Bell, and edited by yours truly! We filmed in two separate locations: for inside the arcology, we rented a city high rise condo in Baltimore - and for outside, we trekked all the way to the Maryland “Hell House,” which is actually the ruins of St. Mary’s College. It was a hot, hot day in August and we had to lug all our gear (as well as some wet cooling cloths) on a 45 minute hike through the woods - but I’d say it was worth it in order to snag such a cool location! 😄

New teaser for an original song with @zirconst! It was our 13th wedding anniversary yesterday, so we wanted to celebrate with some music for you fabulous people. The full album, Arcology, will be coming later this year!
I'm thrilled to sing for this epic new crossover between #Brawlhalla and #AssassinsCreed! You can hear my voice featured in the trailer and a few other tracks in the game. Composer Chris Rickwood nailed it with his arrangement of the main theme by @jesperkyd! (Thanks so much for bringing me on, Chris. I've always loved #AC's soundtrack and this was a lot of fun!)
Happy Valentine's Day, friends! New video up today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5CiJ...
Many of you know me primarily through my covers and original music, but did you know I've performed on official video game soundtracks as well? I thought it would be fun to put together a highlight reel of some of my favorite recordings over the years. If you want to see it in one place rather than hunting all over the internet, well then here you go! 😄
