​   Be Inspired

Music inspires me. I feel everything when I hear certain songs that put me in a certain mood. Whether the genre is bossa nova, jazz, compas, salsa, classical or bata, my heart is in those beats and melodies. I can create, imagine, and process the world around me. So open yourself to the music around you and find what makes you move. 



​Two lovers saying how they'll miss each other
​and remember each other.





As a former violinist, this piece here made me cry and
​helped me persevere through a lot of difficult moments. 
Les Nubians: The voices of these Afro-French sisters carried me throughout all the streets of Paris. 
I've always wanted to learn how to play the piano, even before I started learning how to play the violin at 12 years old. But my school didn't have rental pianos, so the violin it was. Fast forward decades later, I went to NYC to visit a friend, and we went to visit her niece who was taking piano lessons. Her niece played Moonlight Sonata for us, and after hearing it, I swore I'd learn how to play this piece because it's one of my faves. I went to Youtube and started practicing religiously on any piano I could find. I haven't taken a piano lesson yet and have yet to learn how to read piano music, but I can play a lil something something from memory - thanks to Youcanplayit.com. See the videos below!
​Just. Take out. Your dancing shoes. Now.

​YOLO
