About
Welcome Behind the Music
I'd love to share a little about the journey that has shaped my musical world.
My Musical World
Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started by playing melodies by ear, then began making my own small pieces, improvising, recording and shaping ideas as they arrived.
Most of my music begins with an image, a painting, a story or a feeling I cannot quite put into words. I like imagining what the background music would be if a picture came alive like a scene in a film.
The piano is where those worlds become real. I use it to explore memory, atmosphere, quiet darker emotions and the kind of beauty that feels personal rather than polished.

Story, Illustration & Music
Princess Emma
Princess Emma began during lockdown, when Alanna and Keira had time to build a story together. Keira wrote and illustrated the story while Alanna created the score.
The project follows a young princess beyond the castle grounds and into a magical forest, with each piece tracing a different part of her journey from curiosity to fear, hope and homecoming.
