Made for my mom to listen at work on 11.21.25

I've always had an incredible relationship with my mom since I was a kid. The reason I'm able to create music, take risks, and follow my inspiration is because of the courage she's given me my whole life. When I'm in the studio working on something, I think about her grinding at work, and it pushes me to make something she'd be proud of.

This track carries that energy - the love, support, and strength she's always shown me. Wanted her to have something to vibe to during her workday that reminds her how much she means to me.

Live at Shady Coffee & Tea in Roseville, CA. (11.21.25).

Getting 2.5k plays within 3 days on SoundCloud and likes from strangers gave me the courage to do this for real. So I did.

I was terrified - didn't even know what key I'd recorded the original in, had to bring my iPad to remember the lyrics, first time taking my Taylor 818 somewhere live without knowing the tunings. But everyone at Shady was so kind and welcoming.

I was super nervous, but I'm glad I put my art out there and was brave enough to bet on myself. Sometimes you have to push through the fear to create something magical, intimate, and vulnerable that we all share together.

This is what happens when you stop overthinking and just trust the music.

Fun Fact : From 1:38 - 1:40 if you turn up the volume all the way up, you can actually hear my heart beating through the microphone.

I'm Ben. Won my first piano competition in North Jakarta in 5th grade with 2 weeks of practice.

I've played hours of music in the household. Finally had the courage to just put myself out there and do my thing. 

When I sing I see neon lights.
