Play It By Ear is a song born from instinct, defiance, and the kind of raw honesty that only music can hold. Like the song says, songwriting is the only therapy I can afford... a way to process, reclaim, and transform experiences into something tangible. This track weaves together the vulnerability of creation and the resilience of self-expression, using words and sound to navigate uncertainty, disappointment, and survival. Some of the best lines I’ve ever written are here: verses that cut deep, revealing the catharsis of turning pain into art. If you’ve ever found refuge in music, if you’ve ever felt the pull to translate life into sound, this song is for you.

Bad Witch is a battle cry. An anthem of defiance, autonomy, and refusing to shrink in the face of those who fear powerful women. Rooted in the long history of branding free-thinking, self-sufficient women as threats, this song takes every slur, every attempt at control, and turns it into fuel. With fierce lyrics and thunderous instrumentation, Bad Witch is a declaration that being extraordinary will always challenge the status quo. If you've ever been called too much, too loud, too opinionated, this is your rallying call.
