Ever since I was around 12 years old, music has been an escape for me. While others my age were out with their friends, I was in my bedroom singing and writing songs. For a while, it was my little secret, until my freshman year of high school when I uploaded my first cover online. I slowly built a following around my music. It wasn’t until 3 years ago when I came out as gay that my music and following grew exponentially. Just like my identity, my music flows across a broad spectrum of styles — a blend of acoustic & electric tones.

I began writing love songs to my girlfriend and sharing the struggles and beauties of being a gay demigender woman. My goal is to change the pop music industry and give LGTBQ+ love and relationships the representation that they deserve. Even so, I want my music to be enjoyed by people outside of the LGBTQ+ community as well. I wish the closeted middle school me was able to hear a song on the radio written by a girl for a girl, or hear a woman talking about how much she values her masculinity. I want other people like me to be able to turn on their televisions or scroll through their timelines and see a proud gay masculine woman.
