ThatViolinChick is a spectacular violin player and music streamer on Twitch. She improvs with her violin over other songs and always is able to add something beautiful to it. On Wednesday, we raided her channel after stream! I was gifted a sub and got two priority song requests. Of course, I just had to hear what Versions of Me would sound like with her playing over it. I had a feeling it would be amazing. It absolutely was! Be sure to give it a listen. You can follow ThatViolinChick on Twitch and YouTube.… more

You can make friends from all over the world, right in your own internet backyard. It’s amazing what kind of connections you can make that start with a simple digital connection, but evolve into something that impacts your work and life. Nicole and I met through a Facebook group she runs for Queer Women* Digital Nomads. Since then, we've not only met in person, but she’s hosted me in Berlin and also featured me on a panel on queer freelancers she ran for Unicorns in Tech. It’s been awesome to have her as a friend, online and off. Recently, Nicole began doing features on her site, Unsettled Down, of its members. You can read my interview here!… more

You know that feeling when you fly to Rome to visit your mom, but end up meeting with an awesome company while you're at it? Since I’ve started integrating SEOPrompts.com into WooRank, I’ve been in touch with our close company friends at WordLift. While I was in Rome, WordLift invited me to visit their offices. Founder Andrea Volpini took me out for pasta and espresso, and introduced me to the team. I didn’t expect it, but I was greeted like a rock star!! They were all in love with my music and had watched the videos of my performance in front of the Eiffel Tower from earlier this year. So, Alessandro sat me down and did a quick interview with me, you can click here to read and watch it. We even made up a quick tune right at the end. 😂… more

Two recent additions to my live music stream are electric violin and a nano looping pedal! I am still relearning violin after 14 years of not playing much at all, and learning how to loop for the first time. In this video I play around with the song Girls Like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko.… more

My first published single, Versions of Me, has been live on Spotify, iTunes, and Google Play for two weeks now. I wanted to share a little bit of background on the song. Between 2014-2015 I went through an incredibly toxic relationship. Towards the end, I knew I needed to plan some kind of healing experience to cope with it. Somehow, this seedling idea turned into a 30 day solo bicycle tour from San Diego to Salt Lake City. As wild as it sounds, I successfully did the trip. Fast forward several years. It’s October 2017. I’m living in Germany in fulfilling long-term relationship. I am looking back at a lot of my life and just wondering how I managed to get so far, after having felt so low. Versions of Me was written thinking back on that bicycle tour and some of the things I’ve realized as a part of that journey. Did it matter where I was going? Not really, the only reason it mattered was because I chose a specific place I wanted to be. That was it. Perhaps more importantly, I learned to appreciate the value of taking it in tiny chunks. Many times on that trip, I knew I could only focus on the next literal 5 minutes at a time. Versions of Me is a reflection on that trip and realizing how applicable it has been in my life to find peace and motivation. I hope it does the same for you!… more
