Through my music, I aim to encourage listeners to embrace vulnerability and find strength in their emotions. Ultimately, my hope is that this EP can provide a sense of clarity and help navigate the complicated and uncertain world we live in.”
EMOTIONS WE TELL OURSELVES IT IS NOT OK TO FEEL is an essential sonic odyssey that dives into the darkest corners of the soul and offers a place to explore feelings via the escapism of the dancefloor.
