I don’t know about you but I love me a messy origin story 🤡

in January, I flew to LA to meet @mrgnmok , track vocals and harmonies, and bring Try For Me, my baby, to life

three musical therapy sessions, eight versions, and fourteen hours locked in the studio later, we walked out with a punchy-ass chorus that carried everything we’d been trying to say

we have a saying in Mexico: “no hay mal que por bien no venga” — something beautiful inevitably comes from even the ugliest circumstances. Try For Me is musical alchemy at its finest: taking pain, immortalizing it, and giving it somewhere to live

morgan, my bestie and musical therapist, understands that every song has an emotional landscape behind it. the instruments we choose, the vocal takes that borderline on method acting, the textures we build — every decision carries a piece of the story. It’s the memories behind the melody that make it human. they’re also one of the few people who can tolerate me saying “wait, one more take” approximately 700 times. 🫠🙆 LOVE u bb, you don’t just mix and make, you reset my nervous system

creating art is a privilege. creating it with people you love is something else entirely. to have your closest friends witness a song’s birth, nurture it, and help carry it into the world feels like a kind of magic I’ll be studying for the rest of my life

this stupid little app might have you believing my life is happy-go-lucky, without so much as a hiccup in sight — but the truth is, the greatest art is often born from the MESSIEST BITCHES and the messiest moments 🙃 the same messiness we eventually learn to call home

now go stream Try For Me 💞
