I began my musical journey in the classical music world, studying Mozart, Beethoven and Bach. Since then I have transitioned into the singer songwriter pop genre, while keeping my love for classical music. "Lacrimosa" is inspired by an excerpt from Mozart's Requiem in D minor. I decided to fuse pop music and classical music to create a new and original sound. This song features operatic vocals in the intro and some detailed violin and piano solos. The main theme of the chorus is loosely based on Mozart's melody, with many pop variations on it. The song has now climbed to 8.5 million streams on Spotify and has been played on many radio stations. I hope you enjoy the hearing the song as much as I enjoyed writing it.
