  • Musician at Self-employed
    Jul 2025 - Present · 1 yr 1 mo

    As an independent artist, I write, perform, and produce all of my own music. I handle every stage of the process, from songwriting and recording to mixing, mastering, and release. I’ve released original singles including my first single, “Paradise” and “Christmas Without You.” The latter was written in memory of my aunt, who passed away just before Christmas, and I directed and produced its music video myself. This experience has strengthened my creativity, technical skills in music production, and ability to manage full projects independently. My music is on Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, and more.
