SOWEE..

I know I've been out of touch... but that's because I've been having so much fun this summer. In late July, I got to visit my 88 year-old grandmother. She makes this amazing traditional morsel of goodness called "zhong". I had decided in the spring that I would take on the challenge of learning her recipe before it would be too late to do so. Here are my first four attempts:

It's a one-day process with lots of soaking - rice, mung beans, bamboo leaves, dried shrimp, dried scallops. It is delicious. I meticulously wrote down all the instructions and took video after video to make sure I didn't skip a step. 

In the midst of visiting my family, my friends and my birthplace, my homies from PAX HUMANA released an album, which I am super proud to be on:

Now here's the thing: my alter ego "Cailla" also released music this summer, making this my first official EP on iTunes! With the boys at DISTRI.CO in D.C., along with producer Mesta Bish, we were able to release this baby. This is one of my more "poppier"-sounding projects. Enjoy and support!

I feel like I've accomplished so much this summer, yet there's so much more to do, which makes living in NY so exciting. Nir and I are heading back into the studio on the 25th and 26th to lay down guitars and vocals..the final s t r e t c h is here and I can't wait to share my prized baby with you guys once it's done. Until then, I have a few shows coming up - it would be great to see you there. Check out the "SHOWS" section of my site for more details.
