“Music has always been my passion. There are so many beautiful things about it. I believe that it's a form of healing, it can calm your anxiety and even ease your pain. It can bring out different emotions from within. It can bring people together.  Music has always been a form of expression for me, whether I’m listening to it or writing my own. I’ve never imagined myself doing anything other than making music. It is a part of who I am as a person, it's how I express my deepest and most vulnerable thoughts. It's how I can express my creativity in the most liberating way, while having fun. Doing what I love for the rest of my life is the ultimate goal and I will achieve just that!”
