 **What excites you about working in TDM?**

 TDM has an incredible reputation and I’m excited to be joining its already stellar faculty.

**What do you do as an artist? What’s an upcoming project you have that you’re excited about?** I am a multi-disciplinary artist that specializes in telling stories infused with music, mostly using hip hop and live-looping techniques. DRAGON BABY is the newest project I’m working on with writer/performer Sara Porkalob. The musical will premiere at ART in Cambridge.

 **What are some underlying themes in your artistic work? What’s something you’re excited about happening in the arts community right now?**

 Most of my work deals with topics of identity, race politics, and immigration. Given that my work deals with these ideas, the idea of more accessibility to a broader theatre audience is exciting to me.
