I grew up painfully shy and always had trouble communicating with people, but for whatever reason always loved to sing when given the chance. One day I was eating lunch alone in the music room and my music teacher approached me saying if I wanted to sing in the senior talent show, he’d only allow it if it was an original song. At first I was mortified but when I went home to actually try, I never looked back. From then it was an endless string of open mic nights after work and dead ends until I finally started finding my people. 

I’d say it’s very lyrically driven and honest. It tends to be the only way I can admit things out loud, whether it’s about my insecurities or when I’m pissed off, or whatever. I never like to be easily boxed into any one thing and so when I start to sense that, I immediately begin thinking of how to push past it. The upcoming album is very genre bending and emotional.

Scro, Jane Remover, Ethel Cain, Phoebe Bridgers, 2hollis, The Story So Far, Imogen Heap.

“In My Room” was definitely inspired by real life events lol. It’s the classic story of wanting someone so badly who isn’t feeling the same way. They give you just enough to drive you insane and question the entirety of your existence. I definitely hesitated when admitting certain thoughts in the lyrics but realized that’s exactly why I had to say it!
