A love-forward anthem about showing up—every day, no matter the distance. Built on playful, sky-high promises and unwavering devotion, the song captures the magic of choosing someone again and again, through every win, loss, and long ride together.
CHRISTMAS MOURN(ING) A raw, haunting reflection on grief during the holidays, where festive lights and familiar sounds only amplify what’s missing. The song captures the ache of moving through Christmas on autopilot—when traditions feel hollow, emotions hit harder, and the only thing that truly matters is the presence of the one you’ve lost.
FOR LACK OF BETTER WORDS, EP. 5 A youth-led podcast where young voices stumble, stretch, and shine while learning to speak their truth. It’s not just “youth being loud” — it’s youth being heard. It’s a space for real conversations, raw creativity, and the sounds of becoming — because finding your voice doesn’t happen all at once.
