32 years ago, Final Fantasy VI (& maestro Nobuo Uematsu) gave us one of the most unforgettable moments in game music history: the opera scene. Celes’ aria has stayed with me ever since… that feeling of longing & quiet strength carried through music. 🥹 #FinalFantasyVI #FF6 #GameMusic #VideoGameMusic

Some music never leaves you; the themes of @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember… So it means a great deal to share that this September, I’ll be joining the World of Warcraft concert tour as a featured soloist in cities across the United States. 🎤🎶

I had the joy of recording Middle Eastern-style vocals for the #PUBGMobile "Skyhigh Spectacle," composed by Ignacio Ramirez back in 2024… and after how much players loved it, the event has returned this year! So grateful to have been part of something that resonated enough to come around again. 💫

Back home from a wonderful week at #GDC and feeling incredibly inspired. It was an honor for the song I recorded with #YokoShimomura for Lost Soul Aside to be nominated for “Best Original Song” at the GANG Awards. Huge congrats to the team behind Clair Obscur on their beautiful winning piece. 🫶

Nothing quite like being surrounded by the game audio community at GDC. 🎮 Scenes from my first couple days here, including last night’s concert hosted by @awintory.bsky.social and Troy Baker. It was wonderful seeing some of my friends up on stage performing.

31 years of Panzer Dragoon. 🐉 To celebrate the series' anniversary, here’s my performance of the Crimson Dragon main theme, composed by the incredible Saori Kobayashi. The music of this series has always felt otherworldly to me… It was a joy to step into that world and sing this piece.

✈️ Wheels up for GDC! Currently somewhere in the sky, on my way to San Francisco. I'm excited for a week of reconnecting with the amazing game audio community and talking all things music. If you’re attending, please come say hi! 🎮🎶 #GDC #GameAudio #GameMusic #VideoGameMusic #GameDev

Singing for legendary game composer #YokoShimomura on the G.A.N.G.-nominated theme song for #LostSoulAside, ”Luminous,” was an incredibly special collaboration. 🥹 I recorded the vocals during a live remote session from my #RecordingStudio while the team monitored in real time from Japan. 🇺🇸→🇯🇵

Today, I turn 40. 😳 Some people call that “middle age,” but honestly… I still feel as energized as when I was just getting started. I’ve had the privilege of singing on incredible soundtracks, growing as an artist, becoming a mother… and sharing it all with the love of my life.

From raw take ➝ early mix. This one lives in the shadows… An eerie, layered vocal for an upcoming AAA game with composer Tom Salta. This track called for something fragile and unsettling: a lead melody woven with counterpoint to create tension underneath.

Happy Monday, everyone! 💪 #MondayMotivation #VideoGameMusic #GameAudio #CinematicVocals #GameComposer

Heading back to #GDC this year and looking forward to reconnecting with the #GameAudio community! 🎮

✨ Celebrating 40 years of Hyrule! ✨ The Legend of Zelda has been part of my life for as long as I can remember... and over the years I’ve had the joy of creating several fully produced tributes inspired by this world. Here’s a short montage of four of my favorites! 💚

Hard to believe it's been 15 years since my first live video game music performance - w/ legendary composers #HirokiKikuta & #KenjiIto as special guests! 🤯 This piece with Kikuta-san features my original vocals & lyrics, & marked the beginning of my journey as a professional concert soloist in VGM.

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day tomorrow, I’m practicing some self-love: making sure that inner voice is speaking with kindness, and allowing myself to rest a bit without guilt. It’s amazing how transformative it can be to treat yourself with the same compassion you so freely give to others.

Ah, the recording room… Truly my zen space. No matter how chaotic life gets with 2 rambunctious kids, a week straight of school closures (due to snow ❄️), & other unexpected surprises… I can close this soundproof door, take some deep breaths, & focus on singing on some wonderful projects.

Sometimes all you need is a red dress, a black piano, and a melody that never quite stops playing in your head... (📸 @zirconst.bsky.social) #AintMisbehavin #Vocalist #JazzVocalist #JazzVocals #JazzMood #MusicianLife #RemoteRecording #LoungeVibes

This may come as a shocker... but I don't like AI-generated music! I'm taking a break from talking about tech I DO like to talk about this specific tech I DON'T like, namely the services trained on vast catalogs of music without paying their creators. https://youtu.be/UaoaylW0lag

Studio day with Tom Salta, starting vocals on a AAA game I’ve dreamed of working on! 🎙️🎮 We’ve teamed up on five Halo OSTs, Honor of Kings, & many other projects over the years. So grateful for our long history of collaboration! 🎶✨ #GameMusic #GameAudio #VGM #VideoGameMusic #Vocalist #AAA #Composer

Yeah, baybeeeee!

(1/4) Thrilled to share my brand new showreel: a glimpse into my journey as a vocalist in the world of video game soundtracks - including featured performances, songwriting, and lyrics I’ve contributed along the way. 🎙🎶 🎮 #Vocalist #GameMusic #VGM #GameAudio #VideoGameMusic #OST #Singer #Composer

I'm so confused. *What does it all mean?* Is this "rebranding" for the heck of it? Or are we talking a weeklong party instead of an industry event for professionals? 🫣

We're changing the game.

Every vocalist has a long list of miracle remedies for fighting off a cold: steaming, throat spray, mysterious teas from faraway lands… My secret weapon? The ancient, highly advanced combo of… rest and water. 🫡💧 #SingerLife #VocalHealth #vocalist #VoiceCare #HydrationNation

This #WayBackWednesday, I’m reminiscing about my first Hollywood film credit 🎬: singing the Gran Turismo ending theme on Lorne Balfe and Andrew Kawczynski’s incredible score, with my dear friend @julieelven.bsky.social. 🥰 @thegranturismo.bsky.social #GranTurismoMovie #GranTurismo #FilmMusic #OST

The past few weeks have been a blur of vocal recording work and back-to-school parenting life. It can be hard to remember to slow down and just… breathe. 🌅 So this week, I’m focusing on steady steps and small wins. 🎶💛 What’s one thing you’re looking forward to this week?

As the season shifts into early Fall, I always start to notice how alive nature feels… the crisp air, the deeper colors, the softer light. It’s such a grounding time of year, and sunsets like last night’s remind me to appreciate all the quiet changes around me. 🍁🍂🌅

It's the 7th anniversary of #destiny2forsaken 's #OST, including my fav track with inimitable composer @wilbertroget.bsky.social: “Watchtower.” (Nevermind my bias since I sang these Bulgarian choir #vocals for the piece! 😉) #gamemusic #vgm #gameaudio #videogamemusic #vocalist #composer #destiny2

It is my deepest honor to share this collaboration with legendary #composer #YokoShimomura (#midiplex): the main theme song to the action RPG video game #LostSoulAside, for which I am the lead #vocalist and co-lyricist. ✨🐉 #gamemusic #videogamemusic #vgm #OST #soundtrack #actionRPG #singer #lyrics
