LISTEN NOW

I wrote PrettyHouse as a musical telling of the emptiness I felt when I moved from my home with my partner, into an apartment across the state, all alone and unsure about my crumbling relationship. The song occupies the space left behind by the loss of love between Halloween and Christmas, knowing I will not be celebrating the holidays in my “PrettyHouse” with my chosen family. Yet, there’s still hope of us finding our way back to each other.
