This album took about 4 years to complete. 

     It started as a project to push myself to make more music and to take the craft more seriously. However, now I want it to stand as a reminder to YOU to take care of YOURself. I want it to be a gentle push to remember that YOU deserve to love yourself. You can't let the world tell you you are unlovable or not good enough, because you are. I know it's true because I used to think I wasn't good enough. But you can change the way you look at yourself, and I hope my music can help motivate anyone who needs it, to love themselves better. 

     This project also represents a lot of other things to me personally. Empathy. Motivation. Anger. Growth. Love. Greif. Heartbreak. Healing. Happiness. All the emotions. And it definitely represents how the true treasure was the friends we made along the way. 

     In my music I strive to create a listening space that frees the listener. I aspire to make music that manifests some sensation in your mind and heart that represents freedom and contentment. I want to make soundscapes that make the pain go away, for you and me. 

     So I hope in some way, that you enjoy the music and feel happier, even for a second. 

P.S. I love you. You are enough. Do stuff for yourself sometimes, not for everybody else. Do it for you... <3

I started this song in 2021 as a remix of the song Gatsu from the anime Berserk. That song got me through some hard times honestly, and it hits my heart in just the right way so I felt compelled to breathe new life into it in my own style.

guts

I can't get you out of my head

what we had was just a fantasy 
the version of story book love you don't want.

Writing 'getoutofmyhead' was truly a cathartic exercise in unpacking and expressing my emotions surrounding the worst heartbreak of my life. It captures all the emotions I felt during the process of breaking free from the addiction of wanting someone who wasn't right for me, and detaching myself from the perspective I previously held on love.

I can't tell you whether I listened to this song more just to manifest it in the first place, or just to enjoy it. I am not kidding when I say there was a certain point in the production where I would just listen to it on repeat for hours if I started having invasive thoughts. It felt healing to turn it up all the way and melt into the sonic landscape even at the cost of hearing damage. 

So, I hope if nothing else that anyone out there listening to this song, while going through or having had previously experienced, earth shattering loss, knows that they are not alone. 

You are not broken. 

You are loved. 

You are enough. 

I hope my song helps you find the love you deserve to show yourself and that it helps you heal. I love you. Thank you so much for listening and being here on this whirling wet rock in space with me. Don't you ever stop flying🦋 ❤️
