Music Production
Digitizing Sound, Creating Emotion
Music production started out for me as a hobby, when I got a free professional license for FL Studio with a laptop I purchased to use for my academic studies. After messing around with simple 808 patterns and beats, I realized I could create a very unique sound of my own by spending time altering VST settings and filters, along with sampling custom sounds.
It took about four years of straight practice before I felt comfortable with my first public release. Throughout that long process I learned skills such as song writing, lyric writing, vocal mixing and mastering, as well as of course digital sound production and layering. I am exceptionally proud to say this hobby of mine has led me to learning a valuable skill, and having two public releases on my verified artist pages on Spotify, Apple Music and many other streaming services.
Punished For Love
Released on June 29th of 2022, Punished For Love was my first single release. I took everything I learned from creating the Siren Song EP and condense those new insights and skills into one song. This included better vocal mastering, more insightful lyrics, and a better understanding of music theory.

Siren Song EP
My first public music release, Siren Song is an EP consisting of five songs. It explores areas of mental abuse and closure. I learned a lot about musical composition and music theory throughout this process. While I can look back and easily understand the projects shortcomings, I still view it as a strong foundation for my skills in music production.
