Music
Across film, theatre, and stage, my music explores the dialogue between tradition and experimentation. Each composition is a search for emotional truth, where rhythm meets silence, and melody becomes a form of storytelling. From cinematic scores to intimate folk and fusion works, these are the sounds that have shaped my journey.
