Scroll and listen to some songs I’ve written for musical theater and opera. Most recently my writing partner and friend, Yejune Kim, and I won the 6th annual Write Out Loud Contest 2024, and we received a concert at 54 Below and a music video (coming soon) as the grand prize. If you would like to use one of our songs for your Broadway audition, American Idol, or any singing contest, send us a message.
