Welcome to my Fan Club!

This is where I share my creative process as I write new songs, create new stories, and manifest new dream shows. This isn’t the perfectly polished version of myself that I try to present to the world. This is a more vulnerable version of me as I practice songs and experiment with new ideas. I hope you’ll find some joy, beauty, humor, insight, and even a stronger sense of connection to me and this community. Thanks for being here.

Prior to the pandemic, I was living in St. Louis as a full-time professional singer, performing artist, and event producer. In 2017, I released my debut EP Album, I’m Ready. In 2019, I recorded a forthcoming live album with my Big Band. I was touring in the US and Canada, while my alter-ego, Captain K. GoodLove, was singing in shows and burlesque festivals across the country. I was proud to be an independent performing artist who was busy making a living in the gig economy.

Then the pandemic hit, and practically overnight, I went from having a completely full schedule to absolutely nothing on my books for the foreseeable future. I was devastated, but not entirely defeated. I began to reevaluate my priorities.

I felt a calling to take an EPIC journey.

In spite of looming car troubles, lack of funds, raging wildfires, and a global pandemic, in the Fall of 2020, I packed up all my belongings and left St. Louis- my home of nearly twenty years- and I hit the road in my Little Rollerskate car for a six-week solo camping trip from St. Louis to California.

This was a life-changing adventure, and I’ve been sharing my experience with my patrons the entire way. I’ve been creating a Musical Travelogue series featuring photos, videos, stories, and songs from my travels. These episodes are currently only available for streaming to my fans here on Patreon.

In October 2020, I made it to my destination in the Eastern Sierras. This past winter in the mountains has been one of the most happy, healthy, and healing seasons of my life- thanks in large part to my awesome aunt and uncle with whom I’ve been living in Mammoth Lakes, CA, and also to you, my monthly supporters. I’m so grateful for this much needed time to retreat, regroup, and refresh.

And now, just as the Performing Arts industry is coming back to life and as the world at large is emerging from isolation, this winding journey is taking me to an exciting new chapter of my life… New York City!

This Fall, my sister, Sarah, and I will be attending grad school at BerkleeNYC - a brand new campus of Berklee College of Music in Manhattan! We will be pursuing our Masters of Arts in Creative Media & Technology. My specialization will be Writing & Design for Musical Theatre, and Sarah’s specialization will be Live Experience Design. Together, we are going to collaborate with the brightest and most talented creatives of our generation at POWER STATION, an historic recording studio and state-of-the-art black box theatre facility just blocks away from Broadway!

A TOTAL DREAM COME TRUE!

I couldn’t be more excited to take my creative work to the next level and to share my special brand of music and immersive art on a broader scale! This next chapter is going to be hugely EXPANSIVE… and expensive! LOL
