hi there! thank you so much for clicking on this. now stay! this is my song young and burning. 

i wrote this song because i think when we often look at our youth. our teenage years...people often think of it as the time of our lives. i wrote this song for people that don't exactly feel that way. that more feel like they don't have a place in the world in their youth.  and they're still figuring that out and trying to understand who they are and what they're doing. that's why it's called young and burning. we're these young kids figuring things out and becoming adults. 

when you think of fire you think of something beautiful and passionate. but also extremely dangerous. and i'm sure some people can relate to those mixed emotions. for that's what i've felt about growing up. like i was just in this chaotic world that was beautiful but also not for me. i didn't fit in even though it was exciting. i'm trying to comfort the uncomforted. i'm trying to comfort the lost. because you are this beautiful fire but you don't know what to set alight next and not be dimmed out. trying to survive and avoid having someone dim you out. the highway represents the accidents along the way in our youth, the flat tires. i made this song to say to teens and kids "don't give up. don't let people dim your fire. you have a purpose. you can control that fire. and yes you're young and burning and crashing and hurting and you feel like your whole life had lived a lie. and there's this smoke in your eyes from your fire and you can't see past your youth and you can't see where you're going. but i want you to know that you can find a place to go." this whole song i wrote is about hope! it's bitter because i'm reflecting i didn't fit in as a teen but it's also knowing that i can dispose of that feeling and find my place. the message of this song is you can find your way. 

this song is the anthem to healing our troubled depressed generation. escaping the pressures of social media and finding our real paths. as a songwriter it's my duty to comfort those that feel lost. i don't want anyone to feel lost. i take this seriously. i don't want anymore fires to go out.

you're going to be okay. you're on my mind lost people. you are not lost you are just finding your way. remember that.

please continue living. pursue what you love. dance even when no one's watching.

this song wants you to know you can survive your youth and stay alive.

this song is comforting your losses of friendships. but also telling you we may lose people and purpose as teenagers. but it always comes back even better than before. 

stay strong. push through. keep that fire alight. just because you don't fit in now doesn't mean things are hopeless. you will find your place and sometimes it's better to stick out and be your own person.

even if you feel like you've got nowhere to go you will! it's gonna change your life.

so be patient. keep your fire alight. find your passions to burn that fire in a healthy way. use it as a light for others. fire can bring us warmth and rebirth. we don't have to use it against us. be a young beautiful burning flame.

100,000 teenage flames are lost every year. we must save these lives. you're going to be okay. please listen to my song. it'll give you hope.

young and burning (unmastered demo)

hello! this channel is mainly for the focus of songs i've written (which there will be many more to come). but i'd like to give you a sense of what my voice has to offer. i felt this song written by billie and finneas could best exhibit my voice. it also is a very relatable bittersweet experience in my opinion. it's about loving someone that doesn't reciprocate in my interpretation. also, please please check out my other song "young and burning" i've written too!

when the party is over cover

i posted this right after i had a failed attempt of suicide. to encourage others to stay alive and keep going no matter what. no one should have to suffer alone and if you need a friend i'm here. i'm sorry the world has been so unkind to you to lead you to such a position. you deserve better. please stay alive and find alternatives when in a dark place. there are people you can talk to. this lifeline saved my life:

thank you twenty one pilots.

i was in a dark place before posting this. i thought the only way out was death. but then i remembered my music and my lifting. and despite the fact i literally have like 1 or 2 people i can count on in my life right now, i know i can count on those interests of mine. and that inspired me to post this instead of following through with my plan. please do not give into your plans and stay alive. stay alive for me. please keep going.

"I didn’t just want to be another book added to your collection. I wanted to be your favorite, I wanted to be the one you never wanted to put away."

posted this late at night. couldn't sleep until i publicized this cover. every single lyric of this song i relate to. i feel it's about waiting for someone that doesn't reciprocate. lyric breakdown anyone?

"How many pennies in the slot?
Giving us up didn't take a lot
I saw the end 'fore it begun
Still I carried, I carried, I carried on" - someone moving on from you easily

this song is about falling in love with someone that keeps playing you like an arcade game. discovered this song before it even hit the radio and fell in love with it. completely heartfelt and deserves all the views it's receiving. it was an honor to do this cover especially after crying after the realization that someone has let go of me. singing is one of the best ways to ease this pain. if you're going through this right now i hope you can listen to this too and find comfort in it as well.

some of you really care
and some of you never really were there...
