A Tale of Two Masters

ALBUM · 18 December 2020 · 14 tracks · 42 min

Power, discipline, betrayal, rebirth, obligations, dreams, the masters within.

Built on the question of whether one can serve two masters. Torn between motherhood, grad school, organizational leadership and artistic pursuits, the record asks whether all four roles are achievable — and lands on the finding that mastery demands a personal cost.
