SOUND

My sound practice is a devotional excavation—rooted in the body, spirit, and memory. I work with my voice as a site of multiplicity and inheritance, shaped by the textured legacies of gospel, jazz, musical theatre, experimental vocalism, and classical technique. My loop-based compositions, created with a Boss RC-300 station, layer breath, resonance, and rhythm into sonic tapestries that are at once ancestral and futuristic, structured and fluid.​

My influences range from the sacred precision of the Clark Sisters and Kierra Sheard, to the raw vulnerability of Tonex and Samoht, to the atmospheric experimentation of Ben Frost, Emptyset, and Slowdanger. I study the emotional clarity of Celine Dion and Aretha Franklin, the fluid masculinity of artists like Kevin Garrett and Trevor Jackson, and the genre-defying architectures built by Ludwig Göransson, Beyoncé, and Justin Vernon. I also hold close the improvisational brilliance of Jon Batiste and the operatic grace of Barbara Bonney—each shaping how I approach storytelling through sound.

​I am drawn to the looping process not just as a technical method, but as a spiritual ritual: repetition becomes revelation, and fragments become form. Through layering, disruption, and recombination, I explore queerness, Blackness, divinity, and dissonance. My music doesn’t aim to resolve tension—it offers a place to dwell inside it, to listen through the cracks.Whether in live performance or digital recordings, my sound practice asks: What lingers in the voice when the body remembers? What futures emerge when we harmonize our ghosts?
