A musician who thinks like a psychologist. A psychologist who feels like a musician.
Music was never just a hobby for me — it was the language I understood before words made sense. I grew up surrounded by melody, drawn to the way a single note could shift the energy of a room, change someone's mood, or bring a complete stranger to tears.
But alongside this deep love for music, I found myself equally fascinated by a question that wouldn't leave me alone: why? Why does a minor chord feel sad? Why do certain rhythms make us move involuntarily? Why can a song from ten years ago instantly transport us to a specific moment?
That question led me to pursue something unconventional — degrees in both Music and Psychology. While most people chose one path, I couldn't let go of either. Music gave me the art. Psychology gave me the science. Together, they gave me a lens that I carry into everything I do.
My training in music honed my craft as a vocalist and performer. My training in psychology gave me an understanding of human emotion, cognition, and behaviour that fundamentally changed how I approach performance, teaching, and connection.
I perform. Live music is where I feel most alive — reading a room, telling a story through song, creating a shared emotional experience between myself and the audience.
I teach. I work with international students in vocal artistry, helping them go beyond technique to find their authentic voice. My approach is psychology-informed — I help singers understand performance anxiety, emotional expression, and the mental aspects of artistry that no one talks about.
I explore. Through my workshops on the psychology of music, I share the science behind what makes music so powerful — for musicians, therapists, educators, and anyone curious about the mind-music connection.
I'm currently building online courses that bring together vocal artistry and the psychology of music — making this knowledge accessible to people everywhere. Beyond that, my long-term vision includes integrating music with mental health counseling — using the power of sound as a tool for healing, self-discovery, and well-being.
Everything I do comes back to one belief: music isn't just art. It's a mirror for the mind. And when you understand both, you unlock something extraordinary.
