Honey Disposition

Created out of close friendship and a shared deep love of music, Honey Disposition first began in Seattle where Elizabeth and Alex met while studying at Cornish College Of The Arts. The two musicians have strikingly different backgrounds: Alex grew up in Montana studying classical and jazz trumpet and honing in his producing skills while Elizabeth is a Bay Area native and spent most of her childhood learning musical theater repertoire. However, both Elizabeth and Alex started writing songs from a young age and knew in their hearts they had a calling to make an impact in their local and global communities with their original music. When the universe brought them together in 2018, they quickly realized they could make a greater difference by working together. In the years since, the iconic duo has spent endless hours writing original songs that combine Elizabeth's perceptive lyrics and recognizable vocal arrangements with Alex's catchy melodies and soulful trumpet playing, recording their debut album in their home studio, leading youth music camps and classes, performing for their community, and striving to spread joy and empowerment wherever they go.
