How would you describe your music to those who have never listened to your music before?
Hi, Clare!
My music sounds like Nelly Furtado meets Electric Wizard. It’s got a brooding aggression and violence, but is coated with a catchiness that feels like being outside on a nice day. I want it to be harsh enough that someone could skateboard to it or endearing enough that you could cook your friends/family a meal while listening! I have certain music that I listen to while cooking.
What made you want to get involved in music?
I originally wanted to try out music because all the “cool” kids I had went to elementary school with had later become popular locally by playing in bands. I wanted to be cool too, so when I was a freshman in high school, my best friend, Jordan, and I bought a cheap keyboard at a garage sale in our neighborhood. Eventually, all the kids in the neighborhood got together and started making terrible music together. Slowly, I learned how to play and have stuck with it ever since!
