Feeling all the feels bc my EP is OUT NOW 🖤🌈🤘

I’m super excited to share my debut EP (not) the one! It explores themes of love, heartbreak, and self-actualization. I’ve poured my heart and soul into this music and hope it truly resonates with you ❤️

2024/1/31 Edited to

As someone who identifies as queer, creating music that reflects my experiences has been both liberating and empowering. The song "Not The One" embodies the struggle of feeling unseen and misunderstood in relationships, a theme that resonates with many within the LGBTQ+ community. This rock anthem is not just for personal expression but also serves as a rallying cry for others who have had to prioritize their own identities over societal expectations. Through this song, I invite listeners to join in the celebration of self-love and authenticity. Furthermore, the release of my EP marks a significant point in my artistic journey, showcasing the blend of pop and rock influences that define my sound. Music has this incredible power to connect us, and I hope that each track encourages you to sing along, to scream out your truth, and to embrace who you truly are. Let’s turn up the volume and make some noise together!
