Drawing inspiration from R&B, jazz, and folk influences, she crafts a soulful folk sound that showcases her poetic yet relatable lyrics and her dynamic, velvety voice  Her music, which was nominated for a prestigious New England Music Award, has been described as showing “nuance and sophistication — and prodigious talent” (Seven Days Vermont) with lyrics that “display a maturity far beyond her years” (The Commons).
