It doesn't reflect me personally, but the song/video introduces a heartfelt storyline where a phone call transforms into a magical night that brings two people together or does it? Scenes of playful interaction, romantic gestures, and contemplative solitude seamlessly weave with the unfolding story of honesty and connection, reflecting the nuances of young love.

Early years! I'd say 8 or 9. At 14 I was performing on stage.

Pop

When I realized that being grounded and couldn't touch my keyboards actually hurt me lol

Hmm. I would say my creativity has expanded for sure. It's been consistent, but I really do try to challenge myself musically. Whether it's inverting a chord or taking on a cinematic trailer as an example, I'm always looking for ways to strengthen my craft. Sometimes it's as simple creating new sounds as a creator. Over the last year though, I've really taken more time to sharpen my studio and production chops. Just having honest conversations with myself about areas I could be stronger in.

Really depends on the vibe. I can't really say I just wing it. I typically will hear or think of a melody in my head then I have to get it laid down! lol crazy thing is, it could be R&B, Latin, Blues, Pop, Reggae who knows. I always try to take the listeners on sonic Journey; Up to the very last note. For those that know, my production style, they can expect the ending of most of my tracks to be the most dramatic.

Wow. First that came to mind is Michael Jackson for the pure artistry.

His catalog is so ambient yet eclectic...so musical!
