The debut solo album of pianist and composer Kym Alexandra Dillon, VENDESTINY draws the listener into an imaginative and emotional inner world, all through the enchantment of a solo piano. Through her virtuosic, expressive and expansive language, Dillon transforms the piano into an orchestra, and a lyrical, soulful extension of herself, traversing across stylistic divides. 

Each piece starts its life as a musical seed which grows and blooms into a complete and ornate artwork, conjuring its own realm within which to explore and feel. Moving fluidly between classical, jazz and contemporary genres, into these compositions Dillon weaves and explores her personal reflections on self-discovery, virtue, play, the refuge of the imagination, hope, nostalgia, the choice of gratitude at the close of a relationship, and how our own lives and destinies are intricately intertwined with those around us.

Celebrating the richness of experience brought by every individual person, the listener is invited to forge their own personal connection to each piece, and to together embark on a shared journey of openness, imagination, expression and optimism.
