This track is for anyone who feels the weight of the world pressing down but still screams back.  Think Nine Inch Nails intensity meets Five Finger Death Punch aggression.  

It all started because one line got stuck in my head on repeat:  
“Why is everything so daunting… ever think so… everything’s so…”  
I couldn’t let it go — so I did something about it.  

The song is the battle in my mind — with and without ADD meds. Without them, even simple tasks feel overwhelming. With them, I catch myself wondering: is this what life feels like for “normal” people?  

That tension takes a toll, but ADD is also my superpower. It isn’t all of me, but it’s part of me — and owning that became the writing process for this track.  


Daunting

I've always been drawn to the energy and emotion of music. After spending years caught up in societal expectations, I’m finally breaking out and chasing what really matters to me. I’m carving my own path, leaving my mark every step of the way, with no intention of looking back.

I refuse to be boxed in by false ideals and expectations, choosing instead to live on my own terms—driven by my dreams.

BACKGROUND
Growing up in Montesano, WA—home to drop D tuning—I was shaped by the 90s grunge scene, with bands like the Melvins, Nirvana, and Mudhoney influencing me from the start. When I moved to San Diego in my 20s, I had the chance to connect with talented DJs, which deepened my love for music and video production.

VISION
I’ve reached a turning point, where I’m bringing all my passions together to create something meaningful. I’m done just getting by—now, every moment counts. I’m driven to make music that hits deep, pushing the limits and sharing my story. No fear, just action. It’s time to leave the sidelines and step into the production booth. My heart beats for beats.
