Why Make Music?

I NEVER BELIEVED IN MYSELF TO MAKE MUSIC.

I never found a hobby i enjoyed and commited to.

i made websites, took acting classes, painted, played with poetry, wrote content for others, did a million things twice and gave up, and even created a humble little mental health startup to help people scroll less.

amongst all these activities, i still wasn't happy. i asked myself, why? through fierce frustration, connecting the dots and taking massive action, something finally clicked.

in march 2022, I had my greatest awakening.

i discovered my 'why' - you.

every time i had a mental calling, it was like some incredible force pulled my soul into a different direction and life path, which was always music and mental health related. i was like a broken record, relapsing to music over and over. i just never picked up the cues.

then one day. it dawned on me.

8 years ago, i wrote a song about coffee.

i secretly hoped a singer/rapper would produce it. i never thought i was good enough.

after my awakening, i thought: omFg! i'm an artist (i think everyone is, by the way). I thought what if i could become a music artist (coupled with ditox) and impact people's mental health?

8 years later, i decided to commit to helping others through wellness & music artistry,

no matter what.

i never had an outlet that gave my body goosebumps and hot tingles. until now.

through wellness and music, I can continuously create something from nothing for you. every day. for you. for them. for the next generation.

so if you're wondering, this is why i'm doing what i'm doing. you can choose to meet me where I'm at and join me, follow me, lead with me, or you can leave me. you're in control.

YES, I'm YOUNG. AUSTRALIAN. Asian. female.

YEs, i went to a private all girl's school.

YES, I hung posters of 2pac in my teenage bedroom.

NO, I'M NOT A COLLEGE DROPOUT, but I’ve failed many subjects.

NO, I DON'T DO DRUGS, but i’ve TAKEN PRESCRIPTION MEDS/DRUGS.

No, i didn't even come from a musical family, but at heart, my mother's an artist & my dad's a poet.

i WANT to work with great people. to create, SHaPE & BLEND cultureS, to INSPIRE people to speak the truth, to feel loved and be who they want to be.

because of all these, I'M BREAKING STEREOTYPES.

I CHALLENGE THE STATUS QUO. for you. for me. for humanity.

this is why i choose music & why music chose me.

and this is why i make music.
