Every once in a while we have the good fortune of working on a project that we feel truly matters, a project that we’ll still be thinking about years from now. Maybe even something we can imagine telling our grandkids about – surely you’ve had moments like that where something you did in your professional life really mattered?

By far, the most meaningful thing we’ve done is started our non-profit, Rock For The People. Our mission is to cultivate equity and fair pay in the Colorado music scene.

Since our inception in 2020, we’ve distributed over $100,000 in paid gigs, scholarships, and paid internships for musicians and music industry professionals. We run it from Dog House Music Studios in Lafayette. Read More>>

One of the most meaningful projects I’ve worked on was my final performance during my degree in Ballet and Contemporary Dance Teaching. It was part of an eurhythmics class, where we were asked to express music theory through any form of art. That year, I collaborated with a close friend, Amalia, someone with whom I shared a deep creative connection. Read More>>

My debu studio album, “Chapters” coming out this July, is the most meaningful project I’ve ever worked on. The album really captures different chapters and topics from my life in my early to mid twenties. Chapters of love, heartbreak, faith, moving away from home, struggles of being an adult, that I really think people can relate too. There’s some fun songs and genre’s in there too that I haven’t been able to explore before, so I am so excited for the world to hear it and see that side of me. Read More>>

Since birth I was born into a life of public service. My grandfather served as the town Fire Chief for 45 years. I was always taught to help & serve others. I honestly love that about my family and the person that it has made me today. His legacy lives on today as my uncle serves as Fire Chief now and one day my younger brother will hopefully continue the honor. Read More>>

The most meaningful project I’ve worked on was my second short film, No Homecoming. It tells the story of a college student facing mental roadblocks who takes time to clear his mind. In doing so, he spirals down a rabbit hole of self-reflection, ultimately rediscovering why he’s on his path to success. He learns to channel his upbringing and the negative external factors around him as fuel to keep pushing forward. Read More>>

The most meaningful project I’ve undertaken is my most recent solo exhibition, which took place in May of last year at Ghostmachine Gallery in New York City. At the heart of the show was a 15-foot inflatable—and deflatable—sculpture of Christopher Columbus. Conceiving and executing this work required designing an imposing figure and overseeing its fabrication without knowing for certain how it would appear or whether it would function as envisioned.
