Her love of acoustic music inspired her to write from a young age and last fall, she put her words to music in her debut record, [The] Hearth. She calls this style "human music" hoping that the songs speak to the heart of every person and inspires them to be freely themselves. Her record, [The] Hearth was released in August and is available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and all places music.
