I grew up a restless kid — bored, lonely, never able to sit still — until I discovered music. My first iPod Nano, filled with tracks from my parents and brother, became my escape. I learned how music could create emotions that words alone couldn’t, how melodies could translate life’s magic. I would lose myself in Tame Impala, Billy Joel, John Mayer, Arctic Monkeys, Temples, and early Maroon 5 — dancing, miming, throwing myself into their conviction. That’s what I want to give people: that feeling of being transported, understood, and set free all at once.
I’m a new artist, figuring it out as I go. What matters most to me is the joy of making music, keeping it honest — like a diary entry. I don’t want to create an illusion. I want listeners to know I’m just like them, experiencing the same struggles, highs, and disappointments.
I’m also drawn to songwriting that reaches beyond love — into disconnection, identity, change, and the quiet truths of life that often go unspoken. That’s the heart of my new EP, I DON’T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD FEEL LIKE THIS. It’s a response to what we’re told our twenties should be — blissful, experimental, responsibility-free — versus the reality many of us face. This record is for anyone who’s ever felt lied to about what this chapter of life was supposed to look like, and for anyone still trying to make sense of it.
We live in a single-driven world, where songs seem to have shorter lifespans. I’m okay with that — my answer is to release often, to keep sharing honestly, and to keep chasing the feeling that first made me fall in love with music.
