We tucked in our little COVID cubbies prepared to sing our hearts out and that’s exactly what we did. Nothing can stop us from having a ton of fun on epic sessions like these.

The Voice 2021
There’s nothing more rewarding and enjoyable than singing, working and playing with your friends. Big thanks to my dear friend Kara Britz for allowing me to be a part of this incredible choir backing up award-winning artist, Lauren Daigle! Such talent. I LOVE her heart. I’ve been a BIG fan for many years so it was such a treat to meet her!

The creation of a musical from start to finish is an amazing feat. I was honored to be invited to record vocals for Alan Silvestri as he shopped Back to the Future: The Musical. We had a blast bringing the music from such an iconic film to the stage.

Disney Epcot Center Sessions
What a thrill to meet and sing for Don Hahn, the producer of Disney’s animated film “Beauty and the Beast”. Disney’s Epcot Center is opening a new attraction where the guests and sing along to a shortened version of the movie. I was hired for my “kid voice”, but also got to use my “mommy voice” and “dramatic teenager” voice. It was a super easy, fun session and was thrilled to be a part. (That height difference though! Ha!)
Disneyland Paris
Got to sing on some special attractions for Disneyland Paris. We did both a Halloween song —”Are You Brave Enough” with lots of key changes and yummy crunchy chords— as well as recording several Christmas songs for a guest sing-a-long. My first gig back from the tour and it was awesome to have my best friend Baraka there with open arms!
That’s a wrap: Weird Al’s No Strings Attached Tour
What a fulfilling and fun year it has been so far! Touring with Weird Al Yankovic is a little weird. But not in the ways you might imagine. It’s not every day that you get to stand on the stage at Red Rocks or perform with a group of such talented musicians. Al entertains like no other musician. I have worked with him in many capacities throughout the years. Being on tour with Weird Al is an experience I’ll never forget.
