Sometimes we want so badly to continue a love connection even though its persistently toxic. ☢️

What we often fail to realize is that life will place certain people in front of us just to help teach us how to build solid boundaries and expectations. 🛠

We may feel like this person is the best for us at the time despite our inner voice telling us it’s not healthy. 🙉

I urge anyone reading this message, or listening to this song to follow your intuition despite the desire to stay and make things work. 🧿

Quit trying to find peace in chaotic situations, and you’ll be blessed with the tranquility you deserve! 🙏🏾

"Over You" (Prod. by DeeMarc)

I wrote this song to paint a picture of my deep alignment with the spirit of Hip-Hop. 🎤

Since day one it has guided me towards being a better and brighter version of myself. 🙂

It’s truly an honor for me to be a part of its lineage, and I intend to use my gift to uplift as long as life allows. 🙏🏾

Hip-Hop don’t stop. Neither will I! ♾️

Hip-Hop Don't Stop (Prod. By Khari313)

This song is inspired by some of the darkest moment from the Kingdom Hearts series. I had no idea when I started pursuing this idea how much it would resonate with my real life experience.

Birth By Sleep

What I show isn't always how I feel, but two things can be true at once.

🤷🏾‍♂️ YDK 🤷🏾‍♂️

My constant craving for stimulation tends gets in the way of my relationship with Self.

😩 I Wanna Feel 😩

I've learned more about myself in the making of this 1 album than I have in my first 24 years of life.

🍄 Wonder 🍄

Mary Jane and I been together just as long as I've been making music. We're toxic together.

🚭 R3Laps 🚭

I would have rather talked it out like adults.

🖕🏾 Toast 🖕🏾

This is what it feels like to be me, I guess...

😓 Strife 😓

💸 Money Ain't A Thang 💸

I love hard... Sometimes at the cost of the relationship itself.

❤️‍🩹 Never&Ever ❤️‍🩹

🤥 Deception 🤥

If ya don't know... don't ask me. I ain't got the answers.

✨ If Ya Don't Know ✨

Knowing better isn't always DOING better.

👻 Spirit Honor-Roll 👻

I'm a 27 year old P(OR)tland native. I've been making music since 2013, intent on finding new ways to approach expression. Each song acts as its own journal entry, so nothing is off limits. 📝

FUN FACT: My first rap verse was a diss against my 7th grade social studies teacher, a mean little lady who gave me my first referral for being 10 seconds late to class…! 🤬

I come from a background of child care/mentorship, curriculum creation/facilitation, and deescalation. My main focus outside of music is providing trauma informed care to marginalized communities. 🖤🏳️‍⚧️🤎🏳️‍🌈

It’s essential for me to use my gift to uplift. I recognize the rappers, singers, and producers I grew up idolizing helped me discover who I am as an artist, and as a human. It’s only right that I give back that same energy to the young people of the future. ♻️

Oh also I’m working on an album. When’s it coming out? Good question. Thanks for asking… 😶
