“The purpose of my page is to demystify the composition process. I give detailed breakdowns of how I composed existing pieces alongside realtime updates on projects which I am currently working on.

I will also share my sources of inspiration.”

“I provide a mix of vlogs and blogs about music culture called Deep Cut Masterclass, aiming to highlight those who have been largely under-represented in larger circles.

I’m hoping I can share a slice of life as someone who was fortunate enough to be either in the room or adjacent.”
This educator also wants the class to know: “I am also in artist management and a Professor/course designer of music industry studies.”
