I'm a queer Filipinx-American musician and artist currently working on a collection of records revolving around my life and experience in Northern California through fantastical realms of my own making. I’m also building a subscription-based website that would give people film recommendations based on a database of filmmakers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Through yoga, I just recently fixed a herniated disc in my lower back that I sustained 5 years ago and had been living with until I fixed it. It activated long-dormant muscles in my legs that had atrophied.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: how to play various instruments including the voice, improve your personal style, give astrology readings, etc.

Learn: whatever may come my way that feels right!
