Very catchy Top-40 pop songs gradually transition into classical and opera music with a contemporary feel in this unique album. With the help of cutting-edge producers Anthony Resta (Elton John) and Scott Jacoby (John Legend), the pop music is hook-filled and radio-friendly. The production in the classical and opera arias emphasizes the natural rhythms and hooks in these songs while still remaining true to their original style. It's a little like the Moody Blues "Days of Future Passed" album. Which brings me to my musical influences.

I grew up in New York listening to '80's pop (and haunting movie soundtracks). I planned on becoming a pop singer and songwriter. But when I was ten years old my school music teacher told me I should study opera
singing. I barely knew what that was. However, I soon discovered how haunting, beautiful, and hook-filled classical music can be. So I studied opera at Indiana University School of Music (a top conservatory) and now I sing opera professionally in New York City alongside finalists from the Metropolitan Opera's National Council auditions. I also sang on an opera tour of Greece with Sherrill Milnes conducting. But I always dreamed of
finding a way to combine pop and classical music. This album is the realization of that dream. It is for pop music lovers, classical music lovers, classical music haters, and everyone else. Hope you enjoy it!!!!
