My 2024 Game Plan on Vocal: From Sporadic Scribbler to Consistent Creator
As the clock struck midnight this New Year’s Eve, a thought struck me: despite our diverse backgrounds, traditions, and stories, we are all bound by a universal Truth: the passage of time.

These traditions, while unique, point toward the new year as one of opportunity, wherever you are in the world.
