Music has always been a part of my life. I used to mess around on my parent’s upright piano when I was young and would write little songs. Some of them were sad, because I was a sad kid sometimes. But putting those feelings into music helped me cope with them in a way. I never imagined I could ever be a musician. Even now, I feel a weird sort of imposter syndrome referring to myself that way. Because I still feel like that same kid, writing songs to get my feelings out. But seeing people resonate with my songs online has really changed my perception of what my music could be if I shared it. My online community has helped me so much and I would not be where I am now without them. A few years ago, I was writing songs not imagining anyone would ever hear them. And now I’m sharing what I write and seeing the impact of that has been so rewarding.
