Score Indie Quickie
Congratulations on your debut EP . Talk to us about the making of it
Thank you ! :) Where do I begin . This EP is special . Every song is so deeply personal and integral to my story . I have had such a good time making the records- the process , ideation , and execution . All of the songs are recorded in a bedroom so it translated well in terms of the comfort and the rawness .

Describe your songwriting process as a singersongwriter It ’ s all emotions . That is what drives me to write something . I find it very freeing and therapeutic to write about how I feel and the melodies just come .
What is the music you write based on ? It ’ s based on experiences , relationships , life , and death . I write my feelings and it ’ s beautiful to be able to make tangible versions of your pain , wonder , and joy .
