Since I could talk, I've sung.

I remember as a child singing along to Alicia Keys in my room thinking it was soundproof and belting as loud as I could (it wasnt). From an early age I discovered that with music, you could speak volumes--volumes regular words cannot. With songs, you can tell a story with as much emotion in 3 minutes as a 2 hour long movie. You can laugh, you can cry, and you can love. I knew from then on that this was the passion that I was meant to fulfill. Sure, singing along to other singers was great, but I yearned to create my own stories. I wrote my first song when I was 9 years old, about how you could do anything you want in this big big world and no matter how small we seem, we can achieve anything if we try. I performed it at my 5th grade talent show, manifesting my dream to the world and the sea of parents and classmates looking on.

When I was 12 years old my dad got me my first guitar - my Fender Acoustic.

With it, I continued my journey and wrote more songs, played for others, and learned that a big piece of wood with holes and metal strings could create sounds unmatched by anything else in the world. My father is my biggest supporter and my hero in life, and without him I would without a doubt not be who I am today.
I started sharing my music online on Youtube when I was in 7th grade. However, due to the bullying I received, I got disheartened and deleted everything, not building up the nerve to once again share my passion until I got here, to Twitch in 2017. This is my home. For once in my life, I finally feel like I belong somewhere, I feel like I can be me and that that’s good enough.

Along the way, I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, depression, OCD and a handful of traumas that I have learned to live with on a daily basis.

Due to all of this, I am currently out of school and unable to work, but Twitch has given me an amazing opportunity to do something I truly love doing. I believe that speaking out about mental health is SO critical and necessary, as the stigma surrounding it is still prevalent and it shouldn't be. I’m here to give you a safe place to feel calm and to help you realize how special and loved you are.

So let’s laugh, let’s cry, and let’s remember that even though this world may be so big, when you dream, ANYTHING is possible. Thank you for letting me dream with you.
