KSU '30
Order "The Death of a Star: The Final Bow Edition" now 👇

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The Death of a Star is available everywhere now.

When I started making this album back in August last year, I didn’t really know what it was going to turn into. Over time it became a story about the rise, the pressure of being seen, and what happens when everything you thought would last starts to fade.

Some of these songs came from imagining what it might feel like to live under that spotlight, but a lot of them were shaped by things in my own life that I didn’t really know how to explain any other way.

The album is completely instrumental, but every track represents a different moment in that story in a way words never really could.

I hope you find something in it that sticks with you, or at least just enjoy the journey while it lasts.

They cheered when the lights came on.
They never see what happens when they go out.

I’m finally ready to share that my new instrumental album, “The Death of a Star,” is on the way.

This project explores what it means to be seen, to burn bright, and to slowly disappear under the weight of expectation and applause. It’s about the moments after the curtain falls, when the noise fades and you’re left with what’s real.

The show isn’t over just yet.

The Death of a Star (The Final Bow Edition) is coming September 18th at 9am ET.

When I finished The Death of a Star, I thought the ending was exactly where it needed to be. But eventually, I started thinking about what happens after a story like this ends. What happens when the dust settles, the audience moves on, and you’re left with everything that happened?

The Final Bow Edition continues the story with a fourth and final act, featuring six new tracks that explore what comes after the death of a star.

The Death of a Star (The Final Bow Edition) will be available exclusively on CD, vinyl, and as a digital download.

The final act begins this Friday.

Preorder now in my bio.

ACT IV: THE FINAL BOW

When the applause ends and everyone else has moved on, sometimes you’re still left replaying everything that happened.

Six new tracks continue the story beyond The Death of a Star, from the moment the dust settles to one final exit.

Available Friday, September 18th at 9am ET exclusively on CD, vinyl & digital download.

The final act begins now.

The Death of a Star (The Final Bow Edition) is officially out now.

I knew I wanted these final six tracks to feel like more than just bonus songs. Act IV is about everything that comes after the ending: When the dust settles, the applause is gone, and you’re left looking back at everything that happened before finally choosing to leave the stage.

Thank you for staying with this album all the way until its final bow. I hope you find something in these last six tracks that sticks with you.

After all this time, today officially marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.

Thank you to my family, friends, teachers, and everyone who supported me along the way. High school had its ups and downs, but it helped shape who I am today.

Good luck to everyone on their new beginnings, new opportunities, and whatever comes next.

Welp, today was my last day of high school, and there is SO MUCH I need to share with you guys, so let's get started:

My last month of high school has been so amazing; from being recognized as part of the Top 25 of my class and getting to see my favorite teacher again to having the Senior Breakfast, Awards, and Senior Walk (where I had some very emotional memories) this month has been moving so quickly and I can't believe my time in high school is now over 🥹

Thank you to everyone who's supported me throughout my time in school, even if you haven't been there the whole time. Know that I appreciate each and every one of you for helping me become the person I am today, and the person I will be in the future and I wish the rest of the class of 2026 good luck in the future.

Next up, SHS Prom and Graduation. See you soon 🫡 by @12hayden13
