I’m a trans singer songwriter and illustrator from Brooklyn New York, I make a pretty wide range of music and get really wacky in my production and writing process. I perform often solo and with my super rad backing band called the TripleA batteries!! Happy to get to know some new folk on here. #get to know me#fyp#shareyourthoughts#musician#lgbtqartist
... Read moreIt's been quite a journey finding my voice, both as a person and as an artist. Being a trans singer-songwriter isn't just a label; it's deeply woven into the fabric of my music and art. Every song I write, every illustration I create, carries a piece of my experience, my perspective as someone navigating the world as my authentic self. It's about sharing stories that resonate, that offer a glimpse into resilience, joy, and sometimes, the beautiful chaos of life. I believe in authenticity, and that's something I strive to bring into every creative endeavor.
My creative process is definitely a bit 'wacky,' as I like to call it! I love experimenting with sounds and visuals, pushing boundaries to see what new expressions emerge. My production style often involves layering unexpected elements, blending genres, and using unique vocal textures to craft something truly original. When I'm on stage, whether solo with my acoustic guitar or rocking out with my incredible band, the TripleA batteries, it's an electric feeling. We love bringing high energy and a unique sound to every performance. Imagine a stage bathed in vibrant purple and pink lights, us just pouring our hearts out through music – that's the vibe we aim for. It’s not just about playing notes; it’s about creating an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome, seen, and connected. The energy from the crowd truly fuels us.
Beyond the music, my passion for illustration lets me explore different facets of my imagination. You might catch me in my yellow hoodie and a patterned headscarf, sketching away, or bringing fantastical visions to life. I often find inspiration in the everyday, like the cozy corner where I play my guitar with my cat nearby, or the vibrant energy of Brooklyn that constantly fuels my creativity. My illustrations often lean into classical styles but with a contemporary, often fantastical twist, like the framed artwork I recently finished depicting multiple figures with wings, rendered in rich red and brown tones. I love the idea of reinterpreting classic motifs through a modern lens, adding layers of symbolic meaning. It's all about storytelling, whether through a melody or a brushstroke, and inviting viewers to find their own narratives within my pieces.
Coming to Lemon8, I'm genuinely excited to connect with new people, share more behind-the-scenes glimpses of my art and music, and hear your thoughts. This platform feels like a wonderful space to grow a community, share experiences, and inspire each other. I truly believe art, in all its forms, has the power to unite us, spark conversations, and build bridges.

Let's create something beautiful together and explore the endless possibilities of creativity!
