“Weaker” is the first single from my debut album Pillow Case. I wrote it during a moment of panic when I felt completely out of place and wanted nothing more than to go back home. It’s a song about vulnerability—about admitting that sometimes strength comes from facing how fragile we really are. With stripped-down instrumentation and raw vocals, Weaker sets the tone for the rest of the album: honest, personal, and unfiltered.

If you’ve ever felt lost, homesick, or unsure of yourself, this one’s for you.

“Valentina” is one of the most vulnerable songs from my debut album Pillow Case. It’s a story about longing for someone you can’t quite reach, chasing after a love that feels just out of your grasp. Written late at night when words felt heavier than sleep, the song captures the tension between desire and distance, between hope and heartbreak.

With intimate vocals and stripped-back production, Valentina lets every lyric breathe—like a letter that was never sent but still needed to be written.

If you’ve ever held onto a name that means more than just a name, Valentina is for you.

Daryan Tchoubineh is a singer-songwriter whose music blends heartfelt storytelling with raw emotion. Drawing inspiration from artists like Kurt Cobain, John Lennon, and Elton John, his songs capture the beauty and chaos of growing up, falling in love, and finding your place in the world.

His debut album Pillow Case tells the story of transitioning from high school to college—a journey filled with heartbreak, longing, and self-discovery. With tracks like Weaker, Summer Fling, and Upside Down, Daryan creates an intimate world where listeners can see their own experiences reflected back at them.

For Daryan, music isn’t about perfection—it’s about honesty. Each song is written as a way to process real emotions, a collection of fragments held together like the filling of a pillowcase: messy, vulnerable, but deeply human.
