đź’™Big Chorus Energy
Songs built for singing at the top of your lungs. This collection pulls from everywhere—pop, rock, musical theater, even a little bit of cinematic drama—but they all share that same release. Friday I’m in Love, Shut Up and Dance, and Shake It Off bring that bright, immediate joy, while Don’t Stop Believin’, Carry On Wayward Son, and Sweet Caroline carry that unmistakable, crowd-singing energy. These are songs that don’t stay small—they expand the moment they hit the chorus. There’s also something really satisfying about translating…

🌊 Barefoot and Breezy
Island Rhythms, sunshine, and easygoing grooves. There’s a certain kind of song that feels like sunshine on your skin—easy, warm, and just a little bit nostalgic. Barefoot & Breezy is a collection of songs that live in that space. Some are about the sun, some are timeless classics, and others carry that laid-back island groove that makes everything feel a little lighter. This album reminds me of laying on the beach, soaking up the warmth… and then running into the ocean when I need to…

đź’–Something to Say
Anthems of strength, joy, and unapologetic sparkle. They don’t need to be louder, bigger, or more polished. They just arrive already formed—clear in what they mean and who they belong to. This collection brings together songs written and performed by women who have something to say. Not all in the same way, and not always with the same volume, but with a kind of certainty that feels grounded. Some are bold. Some are pointed. Some are somewhere in between. All of them carry intention. I’ve…

đź–¤Acoustic Sessions
These are the songs that get quieter. Not smaller—just closer. The ones where the energy shifts, the tempo slows, and suddenly you’re really listening. Not to the production, not to the performance—but to the song itself. When the lights dim, the song does the talking. Some of these songs were always meant to feel this way.Others had to be gently pulled out of their original world to get here. Big arrangements. Full bands. Iconic recordings. Artists like Nirvana, Coldplay, and U2 built these songs with…

đź’ś Pop, But Make it ‘Uke
Big pop songs, stripped down to four strings. Some songs are simply too fun not to play! The big pop ones.The ones with the huge hooks.The songs that somehow make it into every car ride, every party playlist, every road trip sing-along. This album is my excuse to take those songs and ask a simple question: What happens if I play them on a ukulele? Artists like Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, Madonna, and Coldplay built these songs for giant stages and full production — drums,…

đź’š Everyone Knows This One
Songs that instantly turn a room into a sing-along. Some songs don’t need an introduction. You play the first few chords and people immediately smile. Someone starts singing the first line before you even get there. By the chorus, the whole room is in. That’s the spirit of this album: Everyone Knows This One. These songs span decades and styles, but they all share the same magic. They’re the songs that live in car rides, wedding receptions, late-night kitchen dance parties, and long drives with…

Before Day One (Again): What I’m Changing, What I’m Keeping, What I’m Hoping to Learn
In 2026, I’m returning to 100 Days of ’Ukulele. Day One is Sunday March 1, 2026. Not because I need to prove I can do it — I already did.But because the project taught me things I couldn’t have learned any other way, and I’m curious what another pass might reveal. Before Day One arrives, I want to name what I’m changing, what I’m keeping, and what I’m hoping to learn this time around. What I’m Changing The goal this year isn’t “bigger” — it’s…

5 Songs That Changed My Life: Wrap Up
Some songs stay. Not because they’re the most difficult to play, or the most impressive to perform — but because they mark a shift. A beginning. A return. A quiet realization that something has changed. Over time, I wrote five individual posts about songs that shaped my relationship with music — not all at once, and not intentionally as a set. Only later did I realize they belonged together. Each song represents a different doorway:into confidence, into presence, into joy, into tenderness, into commitment. This…

Five Songs That Changed My Life: Love Story
This post is part of Five Songs That Changed My Life, a personal series reflecting on the music that guided me back to playing, performing, and sharing songs with others. The songs in this series unfold in order, beginning with Lava and ending with Love Story. Recognizing Artistry, Integrity, and Ownership Some songs change your life quietly, and others announce themselves the moment you realize they’re staying with you forever. Love Story by Taylor Swift falls into both categories for me. While the song itself…
