I’m thrilled to share that my latest composition, "My World Wears Chains," has been selected as a finalist for the 2024 New Works Rising Composition Competition. This piece holds a special place in my heart, as it was inspired by my dear friend Lejoi and explores the deeply personal themes of confinement, struggle, and the relentless pursuit of freedom.

​

The opening lines, “I know my world wears chains, I know my dreams wear chains,” reflect the heavy burdens we all carry in life. As the music progresses, it builds toward a powerful moment of release, where the spirit finally “breaks free from this earthly twine, into celestial light.”

​

This work is an emotional journey that touches on the raw human experience of longing and liberation, and I’m excited to make it available for free download.
