Golden Burning Sun | Miley Cyrus
CONFESSION: HUGE Miley fan here. When a friend showed up at a costume party years ago as Hannah Montana, I went on a deep dive and never looked back. Her newest album,

For pop, my go-to is Miley Cyrus. I laid this down as my son is playing Prokofiev Sonata No.3, Op 28 in the next room😂 Her new album, "Something Beautiful" does not disappoint! I sound like a church choir girl instead of her deep, throaty voice but I couldn't resist

I just saw Sarah Mac in concert 2 nights ago & have been following her since her Vox days. She inspired me to get right to the mic as she still flawlessly hits her high notes. I enjoyed putting all of the parts and pieces together for the backing track of Mary too.

Mary | Sarah McLachlan
I saw Sarah Mac at her tour in Boston two nights ago and have been following her since her Vox days. I had the backing track ready for Mary before the show, but hadn't started the vocals. She inspired

When you’ve given up all paid streaming services (and steal occasional logins from your BFF), it forces you to watch quirky shit from your library.

Went to the leafy suburbs to hear synth pioneer Suzanne Ciani at her alma mater, Wellesley College. She plays the Buchla synth and creates long soundscapes that are improvisational and very avant garde. It was a shot in the dark but I'm hooked!

When the news gets shitty (not hard lately), I divert my attention & make a cover. From Canadian musician @patrickwatson's 2019 album "Wave", "Here Comes The River" evoked various unexplainable emotions in me. Looking forward to his 2026 east coast tour. on.soundcloud.com/0pOqW2B15i2a...

I wrote a song! It’s called The Glow 🌟📱⚡️ a social commentary on the internet, the glow of devices in our faces. Youth can’t escape it. I've lived with and without it "Times without the glow were the best days way back then" Managers, my DMs are open 😉 on.soundcloud.com/Y9g64QBcOy0V...

I told myself I'd NEVER attempt a Sinéad song. I did it. I got chills while singing it then tears in my eyes while mixing it. My bucket list tour in a teeny venue was rescheduled 3X for Covid, mental health, then abruptly ended by her death. I'm still devastated!

My 80 yr old Dad was visiting for my son's graduation and brought his beautiful Taylor, so we plugged it into GBand and started laying down some tracks. An apropos Bob Dylan song for my graduating son! I added my keys and harms! He still plays Open Mics at his age!

When 21 Pilots brought their Bandito tour here in 2018, every boy at my sons’ school went. Parents were all no way we are gonna like their music. Well, 7 years later😄 "Ride" is from their 4th sudio album "Blurryface". I put it together in 24 hrs, tracks & vocals!

"Thank U" is from Alanis Morissette’s 1998 album "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie". After putting the backing track together (the glissandos worked out perfectly!), India quickly came into the news on 5/6/25. It's all about the music - no political statement here on.soundcloud.com/2U2NDZYjTiq6...

My voice teacher said my voice reminded her of Karen Carpenter’s. Instead, I ran with a Weyes Blood cover who, I think, sounds like Karen. "Andromeda" is from her 2019 Titanic Rising album and is a space-themed love song :) I loved singing that C diminished chord on.soundcloud.com/9hzrcweFZRjR...
