I love music because it gives me somewhere to put everything I carry. It’s the one constant that’s been there through the good and the bad, and the only place where I can be completely honest. My music lives between post-hardcore and alternative, but at its heart it’s emotional, raw, and real. I work entirely independently, handling everything myself so nothing loses its meaning along the way.

I started playing guitar when I was young, but music became essential when life got difficult. Writing songs turned into a way of surviving, not just creating. A lot of what I write comes from lived experience: addiction, isolation, anger, recovery, and rebuilding myself piece by piece. I don’t try to soften those moments. I want the songs to feel exactly as they were.
