Music is The Best at CSU

MUSIC IS THE BEST uses Frank Zappa to narrate the evolution of my musical identity and the integral role my father has played in shaping this journey. Zappa, affectionately known as “Uncle Frank” in our household, was my father’s favorite artist due to his relentless challenge of societal and musical norms. My dad consistently encouraged me to push the boundaries of my ideas, both as an artist and as a person. This philosophy ultimately guided me toward the development of my own distinct style as a composer and performer. At the core of this performance lies the titular track from my debut album, Mortal Coil, which I wrote in honor of my father. This composition conveys my deep gratitude for his influence, particularly for instilling in me a pursuit of greater depth and meaning, both in my music and in my life. Through exploring Zappa’s music, humor, and satire, I use his work as a musical surrogate for my father, creating a bridge between their legacies and my own compositions.
