My debut album, Strange Beauty, is now yours. I crafted my whole energy and love into this LP, and I couldn't be happier to give you all a little slice of the musical universe this album took me on. Thank you to all involved, and your time. Enjoy <3

Strange Beauty

The instrumental version of my debut album "Strange Beauty" Via @Truthoughts . Most of the time i'll always start with just the production and instruments, before the wonderful vocals get worked into the tune. It's beautiful to be able to share the more raw and in-depth versions of the tracks as how they started out. Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy the music! It is now yours <3

Strange Beauty (Instrumental Edition)

My proudest offering, Leisure Trip, is an accumulation of emotion, expression and true feeling. I didn't even know myself that I needed this journey.

For months, I spent endless hours retreated away in the studio, working with good people to craft and shape a piece which had no definite outcome to start with.

Music, when made for the right purpose, acts as a therapist for me. Leisure Trip has been just that. So thank you to all who contributed their gifts to weave together this collaborative project. I genuinely hope this music can serve you in a similar manner. Or simply just to cotch and crank.

Feet Will Fall

Feet Will Fall (feat. B-ahwe)

I think I subconsciously went into making this song with a childlike sensibility, almost to just play around on different instruments and not really care about structure and all of them things. Because of that, NEONE was perfect for the track as he genuinely is a one of a kind with his artistry but also hilarious. So it was a snug fit. I love the way it just flows in the same sense it did creatively when we was making it. The pure essence of joy is still there.

Heartwing

Heartwing (ft. NEONE The Wonderer)

This was the first thing that came out when me and Quinn jumped in the studio. I jumped on the vocoder, Quinn took on the synth and we just flowed so naturally into something that has became my favourite piece of music to date. It makes me feel whole. It makes me feel so content. Teary-eyed at times. It represents the power of truth, and forever grateful to everyone who contributed to this song <3

Relight (feat. Laura Roy & Woddy Green)

With every little piece of my heart, I am giving you my very new single “Noa Noa”. This tune is more than just a song to me, it’s everything I know. Truly. All of life packed into one tiny package which lasts for just over 4 minutes. A beautifully strong wanting to create something that is so reflective of myself and the environments I am surrounded in. Very much a grounding feeling letting this one sit freely. 

Enjoy! :)

Noa Noa (feat. Emilia Anastazja)

Truly filled with joy to offer you my single "Love Dancer" featuring FiFi Robo. From me to you <3
