Part of my journey as a musician and artist is to release content that allows me to reflect and grow. This performance caused me a lot of anxiety because it’s out of my comfort zone. I’m used to singing in harmony, blending with other voices and having a microphone for amplification. This performance of “I Am What I Am” from La Cage aux Folles, followed a sermon entitled “Who Am I?” at the First Unitarian Congregation of Toronto. Aside from being someone who likes to wear eclectic, sparkly clothes (on occasion), I am human. I am perfectly imperfect – and while I didn’t sing every lyric correct or project each note with my most confident and supported tone, I did challenge my anxiety and release this performance to the world – imperfections and all. As a professional musician in a modern world of superficial expectations and (sometimes) unreasonable standards for being worthy of love, I am proud to be who and what I am.
