My Story
It all started when I was 9. My close friend at the time was writing songs in her journal, which piqued my interest and I decided to try it out for myself too. So, I grabbed a journal and wrote my first song.
​
Little did I know, my interest for songwriting grew over time and it soon became an outlet for me to pour my feelings into. The use of metaphors is something that I often incorporate into my songs because I love how our daily lives, feelings and routines can be described with such detail and beauty.
​
Taylor Swift is not only my idol, but also the main person who inspired me to want to pursue a career as a singer-songwriter.
Soon, I also figured along the way that producing my own music was also something I wanted to do as it allows me to also put my feelings into the actual sounds and music.
​
Now, I'm a Year 3 student in Republic Polytechnic's Sonic Arts learning music theory and sound design, just to name a few.
My journey so far has never been short of easy, but I am blessed to be a part of this course and I am determined to put in the hard work to be able to work in the music industry in the near future.
