“Mom never taught me how to pray. And as the last living Cetra I may never learn. All I want… is one thing. To keep the others safe.” 🌼 Aerith’s Theme 🌼 Nobuo Uematsu, Arr. Shiro Hamaguchi #FinalFantasy #FFVII #vgm youtu.be/WnfNJ8vMuwQ?...

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

First Magfest was so much fun!! Loved the vibes and everyone was so nice! I appreciated the fact artist’s alley was not claustrophobic in comparison to Fanime and AX. My regret was not staying through Sunday 🥲 Next time I’ll have my light sticks ready!!!

@premvintageband.bsky.social at Magfest!! I need to buy light sticks for 2026.

I was a little bit sad I wasn’t able to cosplay at Magfest but sometimes life happens. It was also very cold in Maryland 🥶. Wound up going with a casual Tifa inspired look. (I am still figuring out how to style curtain bangs by myself 😭)

It’s always important to know second verse of the Pokemon Theme because you never know one day it might be the million dollar question. #Magfest

🐝 Bee My Honey but it's FUNK 🎸 Silia 🎹 Clef Heima 🎙️ Pernelle We are so happy to finally share our funk cover of this song. We hope you enjoy! Full version —⟩ youtu.be/ZkRG3SyDSrc?... #finalfantasy #ff14 #arcadionfloor #beemyhoney #ffxiv #dawntrail

Magfest Community Orchestra! I loved that they played music from Harvestella!! I still need to learn the main theme….

I think it’s time to stress buy more Pokemon cards….

Windfall @ Magfest

We're doing a fundraiser concert for LA Wildfire Relief. I was born and raised in Southern California. I've lived here my entire life. These fires were literally beyond anything we've had here and the outpouring of support for those affected has been nothing short of beautiful. Let's do this ❤️

Wanted to give a shoutout to @laurentheflute.bsky.social for their “Overcoming Shyness and Making Friends” panel at Magfest and organizing little get togethers. I’m always terrified that I am a nuisance to others and tend to make myself sparse. It’s a work in progress but we getting there fam.

I found an acapella version of No Promises to Keep on YouTube and it’s so beautiful. 🥹 youtu.be/M1gy3T3Q0Dg?...

So… are courtesy phone calls not a thing anymore when someone is running late to an appointment? I’ve had so many clients show up unapologetically late or even get angry when I am not able to squeeze them back in.

Had a really enjoyable hour of yoga and introspection with Yoga for Gamers (on Instagram). #magfest #nerdmaste

So I started playing Age of Origins on my phone, I didn’t know this was one of those games people can attack your city I just wanted to defeat zombies. 😭

FFVII Rebirth - Bow wow wow (Stamp Battle) goes Rock ft. @pernelle.bsky.social

Big news! I’m launching a new channel for solo musicians & creators who want to level up their skills—from video production and recording, to other essentials like navigating copyright and streamlining your workflow. First video drops tomorrow! Follow along here ➡️ youtu.be/DBUlPIM3pUA

Some FFVII with @stevenhigbee.bsky.social and friends!

Announcing the line-up for UltraNoVA: Reunion, on Sat., 3/22 at Crescendo Studios in Falls Church, VA! Knight of the Round @premvintageband.bsky.social @trewatsonmusic.com Niji Saga @lionmight.bsky.social We'll be accepting applications for vendors as well, so stay tuned!

Starting to post my experience at my first MAGFest, starting with a trombone choir on the first day!

We’re back at it, reading more music for our May concert! I’m incredibly lucky to be able to work with these folks!! 😊

Video games are good for your mental health

Here’s some sweet footage from the concert Friday—I’m second from the right 🙃 It’s wiiilllllldddddddd youtube.com/shorts/fvqMb...

I recorded a piano solo cover of Close In The Distance from #FFXIV Endwalker! I hope you like it! #piano #VGM soundcloud.com/ron88keys/cl...

Oh no I missed out on Aerith playing bass guitar. 😭

Not me forgetting my Tifa color-coordinated workout fit for Yoga for Gamers but at least I am giving Advent Children vibes today.

I was gonna recap Magfest as I go but there’s been so much to do I’ve been having a blast. 😆

I'm so pleased to share that Lifestream, the newest VGM Pianists album, is now available on (life)streaming services! 🎉 fanlink.tv/Lifestream #VGM

Ngl kinda regretting not trying for a locker rental for these next few days. 🫠

I’m really excited for the Reaper panel at MagFest. I downloaded the free trial and had no idea how to use it; it wasn’t registering with my piano at all.

2024 was a year of ups and downs, with most of the downs starting August. It was a really nice break to get away to NYC for the Rebirth Orchestra and to hear Loren Allred sing “No Promises to Keep” live. 🥹 If I were completely honest I’m a little apprehensive for 2025 but I’ll just keep pivoting. 😤
