In light of turning 23 in the lovely month of March, this project turned into something I wanted to gift to myself. Something I never thought I’d ever do is put music on streaming services. But my motto from this year onward is “life is short, do what you want.” And so that's what I did! :v)

While writing this, I thought the lyrics were too relatable to not share on a bigger scale. I know I'm not the only early-20-year-old who's trying to "make it" in a world that tells you that if you don't get your life together by 25 you're literally going to die (inspired by a post I saw on Twitter lol). SO! if that's you, then enjoy the vibes. If this is not you, still enjoy! (But also DM me, we gotta talk lol.)

PS: you can and will make it. you're doing it right now and every day when you wake up in the morning and get to see another day. that's really good enough ;; I'm here for you and I support you! ♡ 

Lyrics:
In a couple months, I’ll be 23
But I’m way too stress for a college kid
cause the socials telling me to be grown
As we make our way into the unknown
Who knows
Might not even be alive by then
Or I’ll maybe even be in a different continent
I got
Hella choices like condiments
Optimist
Might even write a hit, ha!
Overwhelmed by anxiety
Honestly
It's getting hard to see
So I had to buy blue lenses for the one time
But I wonder/hoping if they’ll take the blue from my life

I hope I become a little cooler
As I attempt to  collect my dollar
In a job that I'm trying not to hate
as I get some food all up in my plate, please

Chorus 
Big choices
Bigger than me
Trying to take me to my knees
We call this life’s protocol
Choose now or never at all

Net worth’s at negative 5
There ain’t no places to hide
Adulthood’s running me dry
Choose now or

Get into it, hmm hmm

Listen
I think I’ll be 95
When I’ll find me a nice 9-5
This beat makes me move side to side
How bout some Malta with some ice
Real nice

No thoughts head empty
Should I grow to be known like Fenty
or lay low and collect my penny
I love to think that I got a plenty
Of time, but I don't 
Wanna, gotta go 
Gotta
Holla at you later porque me llaman
So don’t worry about me
Cause its payday
And my birthday 
I might go crazy 
I might go

I'm Fine, I Lied

dot dot dot

a song about travel-like transitions in love, with dream-like vocals and melodies that resemble the high and lows of flying on a plane. 
the song officially dropped on oct 15th, the last day of hispanic heritage month which was also my way of making it personal to me as an artist from the Dominican Republic. Thank you for listening ♡

Lyrics / Letra:
En el aeropuerto 
Vuelo medio retrasado
But mis pensamientos
Te quieren aquí a mi lado

Borre to las fotos 
Menos mi favorita
No tengo la fuerza
Porque nada me da paz 

Como estas?
El cielo todo anaranjado el sol se nos va

Malas turbulencias
Como las del corazón
Cabina vacía 
Y el cielo sin color 

Mi maleta llena
De lo que pudimos ser
Cerramos la escena 
Porque ya no hay más que ver

Cómo estás?
El cielo todo anaranjado el sol se nos va 
Cómo estás?
Quisiera como el sol mañana poderte encontrar
Cómo estás?
El cielo todo anaranjado el sol se nos va 
Cómo estás?
Quisiera como el sol mañana poderte encontrar

Las manos me tiemblan
Ya no tienen tu calor
La noche se acerca
Tu ausencia me cae peor

Me tiro en la cama
El mismo abismo de ayer
Le grito a luna
Traime mi amanecer

Cómo estás?
El cielo todo anaranjado el sol se nos va 
Cómo estás?
Quisiera como el sol mañana poderte encontrar

LYRICS
Look at how the stars align
Every time you pass by mine’s
Always looking so divine
Cross my heart and hope to die

Boys like you are hard to find
It must be by God’s design

I just wanna get whats mine

LOVERBOY
Tryna be with you
LOVERBOY
Tell me how about you?

LOVERBOY 
LOVERBOY
LOVERBOY 
LOVERBOY

You got a whole lot of nerve
Showing up looking this swell
Got me right under your spell
Need you on my parallel

I want you in all my tales
in each and every detail 
The main thing I’m trying to tell
I just wanna be your girl

LOVERBOY
Tryna be with you
LOVERBOY
Tell me how about you?

LOVERBOY 
LOVERBOY
LOVERBOY

welcome to ko live, the first of many!

when it comes to music, I know I feel the happiest when I sing just to sing, as I'm sure you do too. it just does something to the soul, the mind and the spirit; free therapy. so free that i know i want this for my own music as well. so naturally, when I heard "my future" by billie for the first time, I knew what to do.

in conclusion, this will be one of many. one of many moments of me just grabbing the voice recording app from my phone and singing. one of many moments where I feel the most powerful, free, and happy. 

i hope you enjoy this moment and your own moments also, while they last ♡

my future - billie eilish (cover) - 9:23:20, 9.34 PM

beat by yondo "In The Dark" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dA4o0Zto2pA&ab_channel=Yondo)

to say 2020 has been a trip would be an understatement, and even the way 2021 one begun feels like today is December 40th, 2020 (at least that's what today would be if time & dates worked like that).

i got inspired to write this song first and foremost out of inspiration from a cover titled F2020 by Avenue Beat made by the south korean boy group called Tomorrow x Together (https://soundcloud.com/txt190304/f2020). The vulnerability in the lyrics touched my heart so much so that I felt like I needed to share a fraction of the weighing of my heart from being in this pandemic for as long as we have. So, this is the result. I hope you like it ♡

Lyrics:
Three, two, one
If I had a superpower it’d be
For the pain to go away  
Lowkey wishing to have seen this coming
Maybe then I would cry less

Is my heart the only one that's grown numb? 
Is there really no one else?
Cause God knows I’m trying hard to hold out
And can’t do it by myself

Yeah behind the smile that I’ve been wearing
As my face shows in the screen
There's a heart that's hopelessly beating
As they ask me how I’ve been

There's a comfort from the time hitting 12 
my heart beating just like fireworks
And when the sun and blue sky say hello
Yeah I think this time we’ll make it work

Hmm
I need a moment to heal
I need a moment to pray
I need a moment to feel

Yo
Who would’ve known from March that we’d still be here
In a pandemic treated like an opinion
Like fiction
and now is all friction 
as we try to survive
The fight 
That Is, huh, feeling alive

I had to buy blue lenses
Just to see a little better
I had to write about it
Just to somehow kinda bare it
My finger and my screen
Could give a racer a run for their money
I needed a distraction
Just so I could feel less lonely

We could really use a miracle
Cause truth be told everything looking kinda critical

My eyes are dry
But still unsatisfied 
The mood is thick 
Just like my curves and thighs

But tell me something 
Are you gonna choose to love?
Or choose to complain?
Are you gonna choose to grow?
Or to stay the same?

Cause everything around us
Keeps on adding to the pressure
But that’s how a diamond is made right?

Right
