Why I Create

I am an artist through and through.

Whether my creativity is being channeled through acting on stage and screen, recording voiceovers in my home studio, singing and songwriting for my band Rookie Takao, or choreographing freestyle dances for music videos…no day is the same, and I love the spontaneity of the creative process most of all.

There are so many facets to being human. Getting to express the nuances of my own experience or that of a character is what makes me feel most alive.
