The Watermelon Room

In the spring of 2023, I had the opportunity to spend my last two months in high school pursuing an internship instead of remaining in class. I was able to work for a local recording studio. During my time at The Watermelon Room, I gained experience using DAWs like Ableton, Reaper, and Logic Pro, sat in and provided ideas during live recording sessions with local bands, and developed my own style as an artist. Working closely with my supervisor, Garrett Long, I wrote and began to mix my own music, while also recording and mixing the music of a fellow classmate.

Film Scoring: High Chair Directed by Cole Bernstein

The soundtrack, High Chair (Short Film Soundtrack), can be streamed on all music platforms!

In the fall of 2024, I volunteered to score a short film for a fellow WashU student. I used Logic Pro to record and mix music of a few different genres, including jazz, electronic pop, and orchestral for the film.

Training

I first began classical training at age 4. I took piano and violin lessons throughout elementary school and began training and performing with the Peabody Children's Choir at age 8. Later, I discontinued piano and violin lessons and began studying guitar instead. I continued with Peabody Children's Chorus for eight years while simultaneously taking voice lessons. I am currently taking lessons today at Washington University in St. Louis. Beginning in the 4th grade, I participated in local theater productions and was chosen to be a part of the Children's Choir in Marin Alsop's production of Mass in 2018. I participated in A Capella throughout middle and high school, acting as the director for my group my senior year of high school. In college, I have continued taking music classes and I am pursuing minors in Music and Business of Art at Washington University in St. Louis. I have had the opportunity to work with incredible musical minds such as John Mcdonald and William Lenihan in my coursework. My musical education has only begun, and I am hoping to earn a masters degree in music production after I graduate from university.
