Stay by Sara Bareilles
After helping promote this amazing way of sharing art in the Bay Area, I knew that I had to join in. In August, I absolutely loved collaborating with the incredibly talented artists that were also helping promote this movement (Quinn, Selkie, etc.), while also working with Melissa McLane and her insanely talented kids. This song has always been very special to me, and I am really excited to share it with this wonderful foundation. Thank you!
Rocket Man by Elton John
Written in 1972, the song Rocket Man by Elton John and co-writer Bernie Taupin is timeless. The universe is a mysterious place, and over the decades, humans have been curious to know more about the unknown - a place outside our planet earth. Listening to this song makes me feel intrigued by how curiosity leads to so many discoveries every day. The song depicts the intense love between life in space and life on earth with family. It hits me the same way as I think about how much I want to explore all the possibilities out there after school and yet, I still love being in the comfort of my home with my family. Rocket Man is a song that makes me reflect on the limitlessness of one’s life every time I listen to it.

When Words Fail from Shrek the Musical
Musical theater is my passion, and one of my favorite shows is Shrek the Musical. I think it offers a really nice range of characters that differ from the norm, as well as a really well written score. As Shrek is a role I aspire to play at some point in time, I chose to perform his comedic ballad “When Words Fail”. In the show, he sings this as he is working up the courage to give Princess Fiona—whom he has a crush on—a flower. While the piece mainly highlights my acting ability, I think it shows my musical ability as well.

Valse Op. 64, No. 2 by Chopin
This is a waltz in C# minor by Chopin. The moment I heard this piece, I was entranced by the mystery, longing, and deep emotion emanating from each measure. Instantly, I knew I had to learn it! Today, I hope to share this piece with you and evoke the impassioned yearning and love that arise in me every time I hear the piece.
