5 things to know about a Vancouver harpist:
1. Don’t touch my harp.
2. I said, don’t touch my harp.
3. Are you listening? Don’t touch my… thank you…
4. I can move my harp by myself.
5. No, I don’t wish I played the flute.
When I was in high school, and I was deciding “what am I going to be when I grow up”, I knew that the harp was going to play a big role and I knew I was the type of person who needed to have my hands in many different pies in order to stay inspired. Little did I know that becoming a professional harpist would keep me occupied in so many different ways. My job is so diverse as I mainly travel around the Lower Mainland, but especially in Vancouver while playing my harp. I have met amazing people, I get to hear their stories, I get to be creative musically and visually, I get to do the business side of things and most importantly, I love what I do.
Another great perk about being a musician is that I get to work from home quite often. I love being home and having that freedom.
All in all, I wouldn’t change it for the world. I love my job. I love being a harpist. I love Vancouver. And I love my harp.
