Growing up with two musician parents who were also music educators, music has always been a huge part of my life. My family loved to listen to artists like Barbara Streisand, the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, and songs from classic Disney movies. At an early age, these melodies helped shape my musical personality. Each song on this album has a unique story of when and where I first heard it, how it has influenced me musically, and how it has been significant in my life.Track Listing:1. Blackbird*2.
