    paper 'Escape from the Underworld' - from 'Go Bright' album, 2024

    This is one of the most whimsical pieces from my latest spoken word album, ‘Go Bright’. It details my journey getting on and off Grindr, paralleling my experience with engaging in and weening off of casual sex. It is a standout piece from ‘Go Bright’, my most cohesive and sonically immersive project yet.

    paper Actor Demo Reel (2022)

    A collection of snippets from auditions and performances, displaying my range and versatility as an actor on the stage and the screen.
    N.B. Phone number and location are no longer relevant.

    paper 'What the Hell am I Doing with My Life?' - from 'Go Bright' album, 2024

    This piece, another standout from the album, is a whimsical exploration of my process of deciphering and defining what it is exactly I want to do for my work, and how I can stay true to my artistry and creativity while defining it. This is the 4th track of ‘Go Bright’, my most cohesive and sonically immersive album yet.

    paper 'Judah in Jerusalem' - Audio Story (2021)

    This is the first full-length audio story that I wrote. Its writing style departs completely from the poetic structures I employ in my other projects. Instead, this project plays like a radio piece - one that you might find on shows like the NYT’s ‘Modern Love’ or WBEZ’s ‘This American Life’. This piece is full of play and whimsy - in its structure, sound design, and voice play.
