Emerging from a journey marked by both creativity and personal challenge, I began my musical exploration at a young age. Self-taught on the guitar and enriched by formal piano lessons, I cultivated a passion for sound that would later manifest unique genre-bending compositions. In 2023, I took a significant step into the professional music scene following my first schizophrenic episode. This pivotal moment, while challenging, ignited a profound creative spark within me. Since then, I have navigated the complexities of mental health, spending time in and out of psych wards, yet using these experiences to fuel my artistry. When my mind is stable, I enjoy crafting music that transcends traditional boundaries, drawing influences from electronica, hip hop, glitch hop, ambient, and classical music. My distinctive sound is characterized by melodic synth runs and catchy guitar loops, often sourced from my original compositions.
