🎶 I’ve always written poems, stories, little worlds I could hide in when life felt too loud. Music has always been my heartbeat, a way to turn loves, losses, and the ordinary moments into something alive. 

I experiment with everything, funk, pop, country, rock, glitch, house, you name it, I’ll play with it because the story comes first, and the sound follows. My Dutch-Irish roots, travels through South America, the Caribbean, and the people I’ve met along the way shape the worlds I create.

With Suno and AI, the words I’ve carried for years finally find their voice. My songs are raw, sincere, sometimes messy, but always honest reflections of life, love, imagination, and the places that leave their mark on us. 

I hope they connect, resonate, and remind anyone listening that we’re not alone in our feelings. This is my invitation to share a part of my world with you through beats, melody, and words that come from the heart.🎧
