As I wait for my first professionally taken headshots to be edited, I reflect back onto why I decided to make a website in the first place. It was not, in fact, originally planned to be opera-centric. I had undergone a 200hr Yoga Teacher Training and was convinced that music was not for me. I did not, however, want to disregard the possible income to be obtained through singing, so this website was initially going to be multipurpose: for opera, yoga, AND photography.
It did not look good. It was convoluted, messy, and frankly too much. In the computer age, streamlined is ideal, so that's what I did. There was some soul-searching along the way, and, without giving too much detail, I eventually found my way back to singing. This leaves us where we are today! On my website, filled with the past, present, and future of my singing. It's been a long and circuitous path I have traveled to bring me to this point in my life and career, but in this case the old cliché holds true: we are shaped by the experiences we have, whether planned or not. I have come full-circle back to an honest love of singing, and this website is the culmination of my journey. |
