Being 15 is a strange space—stuck between being a kid and trying to figure out what it means to grow up. For me, music is the one thing that makes all of it make sense. It’s more than sound—it’s my escape, my therapy, and sometimes even the only thing that understands me. I started messing around with beats when I was younger, not thinking it’d become anything serious. But over time, it became how I spoke when I didn’t have the words. Whether I’m writing lyrics late at night or playing around with melodies in my room, music is the only place where I feel like I fully exist.

Life as a 15-year-old isn’t always easy. There’s pressure everywhere—from school, from people trying to label me, from the world expecting me to already have things figured out. But I don’t. I’m still learning. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve felt misunderstood. I’ve had moments where it felt like nobody was listening, and music gave me the voice I needed. Every song I make holds a piece of what I’m going through—friendships breaking, chasing dreams, feeling stuck, feeling free. It’s real. It’s raw. It’s me.

I’m not trying to be perfect. I’m just trying to be honest. If my music reaches someone out there and helps them feel less alone, then I’m doing something right. I’m just a 15-year-old with a dream and a beat in my chest that won’t stop.
