23 🐦‍⬛🥀 - Watch me do what I’m doing
Dark pop singer, songwriter, producer 🖤
POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
A week after Bothered, I was taught lesson I wasn’t expecting. 🌀❄️

For a long time, I thought the safest thing to do was subdue my emotions. I believed they were too complex, too much, too vast for other people to hold. So I buried them, convinced that if I pushed them down far enough, they’d eventually disappear.

They don’t.

Emotions are interesting that way. You can drown them for a while, but eventually they find their way back to the surface.

That’s what Bothered ended up teaching me.

I’ve begun to stop hiding the parts of me that want, the parts of me that need, and the parts of me that crave. Being bothered doesn’t make you weak or less than. It doesn’t make you better or worse. It simply means something mattered enough to leave an impression.

I hope that’s something people take away from this song.

More than anything, I’m fascinated by building atmospheric worlds that people can disappear into, whether they simply enjoy them or leave with something that helps them understand themselves a little better.

Thank you to everyone who’s spent this past week with Bothered. I’m excited to keep showing more of who I am and who I continue to become. 🧚‍♀️✨

The rumination ends today. ❄️

After awhile of sitting with this song, my final single before the EP is finally yours.

Bothered was written during a season where I kept rereading situations, hoping they’d somehow change. Throughout the process of creating it, I’ve undergone transformations of my own. Emotionally, mentally, spiritually, so much of who I am has changed over the past year. The journey of creating this upcoming EP has been incredible.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported this release and stuck around through my cold era. 🩵

Bothered is out now on all streaming platforms.

And watch out, Fall 2026. 👀

Anything classic I politely pass. 🥶

Some patterns feel familiar because they’ve followed us for years. Healing often means recognizing what keeps repeating and choosing differently.

Some goodbyes never actually happen.

They arrive through distance, a withdrawing presence, coldness, or unexpected tragedy.

Whether you’re the receiver or provider of that absence, every side has a story to tell.

Some dynamics end, but the mind keeps rereading them in hope of a different ending.

Turns out numb and healed aren’t the same thing. ❄️

Coldness and a darker persona became the easiest way to hide how deeply things still got under my skin. Sometimes numbness is just sadness trying to disguise itself.

The art of trying to hear a heartbeat inside something already dead. 🫆🫩

Bothered was created through grief. Grief of those living and the departed. Avoidance, frustration, bargaining, depression, and the closest one can come to acceptance.

Rumination is a subtle human tendency. Replaying conversations. Replaying conclusions. Trying to return the mind to what it was before the fracture. It isn’t something to feel ashamed of, instead it’s something to reclaim.

Certain situations end without proper conclusions and that truth becomes a mountain for those besotted. 🕷️🕸️

“Why’d you leave me like I’m nothing”

Past experiences, yet the mind still revisits the same unanswered crevices trying to comprehend what happened and why it happened the way it did. Rumination sometimes runs in bloodstreams.

Star Sibling 😶‍🌫️🌟 — out on all platforms. Released April 16th 2025, on my friend Pat’s birthday. 🖤

I began this song out of grief soon after he passed to process. Star Sibling is about grieving someone who isn’t blood related but feels like family.

He always appreciated when I spoke on addiction, and now that his took him away, it isn’t something I can leave unspoken.

Addiction is normalized to where everyone has one. Whether it’s technology, drugs, sexually explicit content, gambling, vaping, shopping, or video games.

There’s no problem with partaking, just don’t lose your morality, yourself, or your life to it.

If you feel yourself slipping, find a way to receive proper care. It won’t be easy and may take multiple tries, but living an authentic life is always worth it.

Thank you to everyone who’s listened and found comfort in this message or my song.

Stay safe and spread kindness 🖤
As long as you breathe you can always rediscover your light

Foolish 🕯️🔥
23 started on my bday, Feb 18, with a dark pop statement.

22 was a practical, sonic, and personal rebirth. A slow, necessary unravel. Sometimes you have to burn down your old life to build a new one. Sometimes it isn’t even your choice.

Either way, maybe it’s not Foolish after all.
