“Hey” Original Song by Catherine Boynton

August 1, 2021 No Comments

In honor of submitting all of my college applications (all 25 of them!), I decided to post my wildcard video.

Throughout my college application and audition process, many of the musical theatre departments requested a ‘wildcard video’ submission, amongst many other submissions. The wildcard video presented applicants with the opportunity to demonstrate who they are as a person. I decided to write, record, and produce a song introducing myself. Hope you enjoy!

Episode 8 Released: Fabi Aguirre

August 29, 2020 No Comments

I hope you enjoy getting to know Fabi Aguirre as much as I did in this episode of the Kravis Center’s Young Professional Actors: WE DID IT. SO CAN YOU. At the age of 9, Fabi’s local voice instructor introduced her to a New York agent and a lasting relationship was formed. Her professional career began shortly after when she was cast as Little Cosette in LES MISERABLES on Broadway. Later, Fabi was cast as Little Gloria and an original cast member of Broadway’s ON YOUR FEET. Her professional journey led her to the film industry, including a pilot show for Nickelodeon, and the opportunity to join Acapop, an a cappella group created by a Pentatonix band member and comprised of all kids. Enjoy!!

“First Burn” Cover

August 11, 2020 No Comments

I finally finished this little project of mine!! “First Burn” was Lin-Manuel Miranda’s first draft of the song “Burn” from the original Broadway production of HAMILTON . The song was eventually produced in 2018, by Mike Elizondo (music arranged by Alex Lacamoire) and was originally performed by five women: Ari Afsar, Julia Harriman, Lexi Lawson, Rachelle Ann Go, and Shoba Narayan. Each of the women played the starring role of Eliza in HAMILTON.

For my cover, I placed a sixth woman into the mix to balance the video production. 🙂 I performed all the Vocals, did all the Music/Song Production, as well as the Video Production/Editing. Enjoy!!!
