What they’re saying

“I love writing songs to feel like a story. And one of the main reasons I actually started writing was to make sure people could have a song which represents them in such a way that they feel seen musically. I love the feeling of having lyrics that narrate exactly what you're going through, so I wanted to experience the joy of making music for others as well.”
