My parents taught me the power of storytelling. Teaching us that stories live in the same world as we do. That if we listen to sounds around us, the stories would just unfold. The power of imagination, and being able to dream. To let your mind wonder, and your heart to feel. That is how I create my stories. Whether they be songs, scenes, music, or with bodies. Allowing yourself to be open to all emotions, and all stories.

As a Songwriter, Vocalist, Composer, Actress, and Teaching Artist she is inspired to share authentic stories. She believes that everyone has the power of being an artist. Storytelling is a birthright. It all depends on the environment that surrounds the individual.

"There is value in learning foundations, and building things traditionally. But there is something refreshing in breaking the rules. Trying new ways to use the tools that you have mastered or been given. That is how I approach creating art.”  - Atim Opoka
