| My Musical Inspirations | From a young age, I was deeply inspired by the sweeping cinematic scores of John Williams and the unforgettable vocal storytelling of Barbra Streisand—artists whose work taught me that music can be both powerful and deeply personal. Their artistry shaped my imagination, but it was the dedicated teachers in my academic life who shaped my path. Mentors who saw my potential, challenged my technique, and encouraged my creativity gave me the confidence to pursue music with passion and purpose. Their impact continues to fuel my commitment to guiding the next generation of artists with the same care, insight, and inspiration. |
