Named a McKnight Fellowship for Musician Finalist

I am grateful to have been selected as one of none finalists under consideration for a McKnight Musician Fellowship in 2023. Although I was not selected to receive the financial support, I am honored to have been recognized for my unique musical voice and the contribution I wish to continue to bring to my community. I was most proud to read in the panelist comments the following words:

“Continue to follow the voice of your ancestors and share your musical vision. Thank you for your artistry…Inventive playing…Wonderful to be in your generous presence today. Your joy infuses each move you make with your instruments in hand.”
