Outline / TLDR: The idea that “there’s nothing new under the sun” often limits creativity, but artists like Twenty One Pilots, Paramore, SZA, and Thom Yorke show how recurring themes, like navigating adulthood, can still be uniquely expressed. Each artist brings their own voice to similar experiences, proving that repetition in art can offer fresh perspectives. In today’s market, where competition with artificial intelligence is growing, authenticity remains key, and the beau

Outline / TLDR: In this letter, I share my honest thoughts on AI in the music industry. I admit to using AI occasionally, like to polish my work or fix grammar mistakes, but only on things I've already completed. As an independent artist, it's tough competing with others who have more resources. I believe we need more open and honest conversations about AI, especially in the art world, while I strive to keep my own work pure and true to my vision. (this section was sourced by

My array of colored feathers never seemed to weigh me down. Although content in my presentation to the outside, my freedom of expression often gave way to predators, readily preying and awaiting their chance to defeather me of my light. Much like the saying goes. “Birds of the same feather flock together” my life followed suit. For I rarely sat and contemplated on my identity or outward expression. I knew who I was and I understood how the world perceived me. What I couldn't

In a digital age where artists fight and strive just as much as the next fellow besides them, it can become fairly easy for one to cast their eyes on another in hopes of replicating formulas and blueprints one was not bestowed. Yet, I present this notion. It is imperative that artists in this day and age understand and respect the order and dignity of time. If not, it will always consume you and bite you in the back… If not in this lifetime than in the next. Over centuries th

(first draft) Note: I've been working towards rediscovering my ability to share unfinished arts. I am on a path to learning how navigate being an artist outside the guise of marching towards being perfect. Maybe, in my quest to become solidified in who I am, I’ve lost sight of who I could be? As if I’ve embarked on a journey many many years ago and reached my destination, only to find that the map has aged or become outdated. As if day in and day out, time flies and I grew fu

Note: A late night writing session. This was created in bed after I got bored of doom scrolling all day lol:) The initial prompt I came up with stated: " What would the world look like if the internet abruptly ceased to exist?" What follows this note is the trail of thought my brain led me to. At 7:00am, the sun would peak over the neighboring buildings and shine a holy light into the window pane, through the narrow workings of my blinds and past the furthest corner of my wi

QUICK NOTE: I've decided to start publishing my short stories or at least drafts of my short stories online. Similar to my other mediums of art, I'm beginning to acknowledge the fact that its better to release the art rather to keep it locked away in my secret chambers lol... heres a quick excerpt from a project I'm building. I am currently working on world building, crafting metaphors and foreshadowing for later episodes in this series. if you'd like to keep up with my prog

During my last semester at Berklee College of Music, I studied in a class covering American art history from the 1920’s to 1979. The class functioned as a hybrid between a lecture and a seminar each day we gathered. Many different students from different parts of the world and different walks of life gathered in this classroom to listen and take notes on how art from the past influenced many other artists and how their work has an effect on artists in this modern day and ag

10 Seeds i’m Planting for my future & Why: As many college students, I've spent most of my younger years hoping and planning towards a future seeking a higher education. For countless hours and many many years I laboured away practicing in soundproof rooms, in my bedroom and at rehearsals. For many weekends I stayed in and read pages from textbooks and practice books to get me to the point I've found myself at the ripe age of 21. When I first began my life's adventure as an a
