I began playing music after my college volleyball career ended, but didn’t really become serious about it until an intense heartbreak forced me to find my own purpose. Born in FL, educated at Princeton, and now residing in Brooklyn, I’ve been in music for over a decade in numerous roles: as a live audio engineer, venue booker, performer, songwriter, composer, and producer.
Once upon a time, I had a brief stint on reality TV and my own web series as a result. It was a crazy a rollercoaster of fun and drama, and it also led to unexpected inroads for music: as a result of the relationships formed at the TV network, I cowrote and coproduced the track for Showtime’s behind-the-scenes video for Penny Dreadful. …And, in a moment of revelation, I realized how much I love taking a script or binge-watching a show and then writing a song inspired by it.
My ultimate passion is taking a song from start to finish – songwriting, producing, and mixing in my home studio – and my dream is to continue to evolve creatively and professionally, writing music for shows and movies. I also have taken on clients as both mixing engineer and producer, so reach out if you feel I would be a good fit for your project. Currently, I’m part of two collaborative music projects, the grunge / punk band Clinical Trials and the fringe-pop duo MNR PLSR. I also release music under my own name [Somer], and last year I released an EP for my new dark alt pop solo project killbunny.
