ARTIST STATEMENT

"I write music to make people feel something. If my music leaves you in tears, or just makes you want to scream for joy - I think I've done my job as an artist. I want my music to give a voice to all the feelings that get bottled up and ignored inside a person; nothing is more healing than being in touch with yourself. I write about forbidden feelings. My lyrics are an echo of what everyone wishes they could have said, but didn't. I often feel the most inspired to create music when I'm in a broken place. When I'm in that state, a lot of beautiful revelations shine through the cracks."
