Chasing Shadows feat. Kara Vandis

Branches” is a song about the roads we take, the choices that shape us, and the way life grows in unexpected directions.
Every path, every mistake, every moment of courage becomes another branch on the tree of who we are.

This song reflects the twists, storms, and sunlight we all face — how some choices lift us, some break us, and some quietly teach us how to grow.
It’s a reminder that every direction we’ve taken still belongs to our story.

I am an artist shaped by real life using reality to master what's  not—heartbreak, redemption, and the long road back to truth.
I started writing music as a way to make sense of the world around me: the people I’ve loved, the mistakes I’ve owned, and the hope I still chase. Every song I create is built on honesty—raw stories pulled from the deepest parts of my life. From dark piano ballads to acoustic confessions, my music is where regret meets healing and where the human heart finds its voice again.

I’m not trying to be perfect—I’m just trying to be real. My journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s given me something better than perfection: perspective. If my songs can make someone feel understood, less alone, or brave enough to face their own truth, then I’ve done what I came here to do.
