What I’ve Been Up To Lately — New Music, New Videos, a Kickstarter, and a New Year Ahead
It’s been a creatively rich season for me, and I want to share what I’ve been working on — new releases, new projects, and a new chapter that’s beginning both in the studio and out in the world.
Releasing “Pushing Buttons” — And Creating a Music Video for Every Track
Throughout this past year, I released Pushing Buttons, a project that let me explore a playful, spontaneous side of my composing. The pieces are quirky, rhythmic, and sometimes unexpected — and creating them reminded me how much joy there is in simply experimenting at the piano.
To bring that spirit to life visually, I also created a music video for every single track on the album. You can watch them all on my YouTube channel here:

Each video has its own personality: some abstract, some whimsical, some quietly contemplative. Seeing people discover the music through the visuals has been one of the most rewarding parts of releasing this project.
“Echoes of Silence” — Arriving January 2nd
My next release, Echoes of Silence, comes out on January 2nd, and it feels like my most intimate, reflective work yet.
This album leans into stillness. It’s minimalist, spacious, and built around the quiet moments between notes. Recording these pieces was deeply grounding for me, and I’m really excited to finally share them with the world.
The “Echoes of Silence” Kickstarter — Launching November 24th
To help bring this album to life in the way it deserves — with physical releases, high-quality mastering, artwork, and behind-the-scenes content — I launched a Kickstarter campaign dedicated to Echoes of Silence.
You can check it out here:
Echoes of Silence on Kickstarter
The campaign includes:
• Exclusive rewards like limited-edition vinyl and signed CDs
• Kickstarter-only content
• A short film companion
• Early digital access to the album
• And ways to support even if you just want the music
Every pledge helps make this release more beautiful, more expansive, and more deeply connected to the listeners who believe in it.
Stepping Out Into the World — Concerts, Fairs, and Live Performances
Another big shift for me: I’m finally preparing to start performing live.
You’ll be able to find me at local fairs, intimate concert spaces, community events, and small venues — the kinds of places where the piano can truly breathe. After spending so much time creating quietly alone, I’m excited to connect with people face-to-face.
For updates on performances, you can follow me on Instagram:

There’s something powerful about sharing music in real time — a shared breath, a shared moment — and I’m finally ready for that.
Looking Ahead
With the release of Pushing Buttons, the full set of YouTube videos, the upcoming launch of Echoes of Silence, the Kickstarter campaign, and the beginning of live performances, this feels like the most creatively fulfilling chapter I’ve stepped into so far.
Thank you for listening, watching, supporting, and encouraging me throughout this journey.
There’s so much more ahead, and I’m grateful you’re here for it.
