SUBMERGE
WOW! It’s been such a whirlwind trying to bring this project to life and I’ve barely scratched the surface.
I didn’t think I’d ever get to this point of having published my own music - it’s been such a dream and a process to even bring this project to life. Writing and composing music is such a personal process which is also what makes it so relatable. Most of my work is just in-the-moment melodies and riffs and a feeling or nostalgic glimpse I’m having in that moment.
For this project, I really had to remove myself from the cookie-cutter blogger aesthetic. Fashion and design have been such a big part of my brand and if you know me, you know I’m such a perfectionist!
Music is a whole different game, it’s not like fashion or entertainment. Writing music can also be such a cathartic experience, a form of therapy.
Creating and funding my own project from the ground up has really helped me own the project and make it mine.
As I head into the final stages of the project I can’t help but feel a sense of fear of even releasing it!
I am just very grateful to have the strength and perseverance to really see this project through. I’ve grown so much during this process as an artist and just as an individual. I’m not sure where this leads me on my creative journey but I do know that I’m not going to let it just box me in as an artist or a vocalist - which is something I have been scared of.
I feel like there is this stigma in the media and elsewhere that artists can be sort of rebels. I do agree there is a bit of that and I’ve witnessed a whole different side of the art and entertainment world. Now that this project is over I’m looking forward to retreating to my softer side as this was definitely a darker part of my artistic journey. I’m also hoping to model more as I really don’t feel like I’ve tapped into that side of my world.
I don’t really have a date for the project but I’m not really pushing for one - I’m just hoping to have something done that I feel proud of. See you on the other side!
