Behind the Music

I was born in a place where silence was the unwritten rule. Where speaking out came with consequences, and raising your voice meant taking a risk. But I chose a different path. For me, music was never just art it was survival. A voice that refused to fade. A sound born from wounds, shaped by resistance. I chose to create my own sound, even if it came out rough, broken, or unrefined. Every chord I play holds a piece of where I come from. Every note echoes what I’ve seen and felt. My songs are reflections of what often goes unspoken but still exists not meant to distract, but to remind. Not to escape, but to confront.

My music is a voice rising from long silence, filled with pain, and filled with hope. I write, I compose, I perform because I don’t want to be forgotten. And I don’t want anyone else to be forgotten either. This is my voice my share of freedom.
