This year was special in so many ways. It feels like I woke up from a long, foggy dream and finally started seeing things clearly. I reconnected with my teenage self, listening to the music I used to play over and over in my bedroom, fully convinced I was going to be a big rockstar one day. Turns out: I didn’t become one. But I released my most honest work so far this year, and that feels just as big to me. I’m incredibly grateful for my friends and the people who walked with me through this year. It showed me how essential friendship is to my life, not just nice to have, but foundational. Maybe that’s a radical take for some, but for me, friendship deserves the same appreciation as romantic relationships. I can also feel how all those years of therapy are finally landing in my body. I know better what I want and what I don’t. And I’m learning to recognize whether my choices come from genuine desire or old patterns and people-pleasing. I am really excited about what’s next. Musically, I don’t know where it will take me but I will make music again for the reason I fell in love with it in the first place: to create spaces where we sing together, play together, and simply exist. And if you made it this far: maybe you’re up for starting a 2000s cover band in 2026? Just because its fun💜

1 month of Best Behaviour being out in the world. Thank you for listening and holding this song so gently. Means the world to me💜 Here is a beautiful little clip created by @lydia.perrot and @tunaybora.io capturing the mood of this whole era. #bestbehavior#diy#independantartist

thank you for all the messages and love on burning house. every listen, every word and every person who shares it really means a lot💜 we celebrated it with a small listening ceremony, and it reminded me how important it is to make space for the things that don’t look like milestones from the outside. the slow healing, the self-built things, releases wirthout the noize and a big label party. this beautiful short clip is made by @lydia.perrot & @tunaybora.io #newmusic#release#independantartist

Releasing music is scary, but here we are. I’ve spent months in it. writing, making demos, choosing, organizing. meeting people who carried this process with me, while I shared personal parts of myself. I make music to give my wild inner life a place to make sense of what’s going on inside. the process is often quiet and lonely. just me, my ideas, my melodies, my voice. therapy sessions with myself, the kind that don’t ask for answers, only honesty. Writing this EP took me back into the atmosphere of my teenage years. the nights counting pinholes in my ceiling, listening to dido, not really knowing how to get up again. the years of trying to be good, to behave, to be small enough to be loved. hiding so much of myself to stay safe. But finally, after all this time, something started to shift. all the therapy, reflection, unlearning, and feeling slowly began to change the wiring. my body started to remember what safety can feel like. i’m learning to stand in moments that once swallowed me whole. to show myself, and not run away. to connect, for real this time, with myself and with the people i love. Healing isn’t something we celebrate. there’s no ceremony for it. it happens quietly, without applause. and i know it never really ends. but it’s the bravest thing i’ve ever started. it’s bigger than any milestone, any success. it’s the slow, imperfect work of finding safety inside myself, again and again. This EP is me honouring those quiet moments of change. the transformation that’s still happening. the messy, stubborn steps it takes to be here. I see you all. and i’m done softening myself just because honesty makes someone else uncomfortable. I’m endlessly grateful for everyone who’s been with me on this path. i love you. you know who you are. Huge love to @thimea1111 who mixed and produced this project and held the process with so much empathy and intuition. she’s pure talent, work with her. and to @lydia.perrot & @tunaybora.io , for creating the most beautiful visuals and being an absolute joy to work with. “where the fire learns to rest” — out now.

My EP is coming this Friday. I’ve lived with these songs for a long time. It feels vulnerable and a little scary to finally let them go. But it’s time. visuals by @lydia.perrot and @tunaybora.io

💫Best Behavior is out now. A song about trying to be good, shrinking to fit, bottling things up and slowly learning what it really means to be myself. This one moved through doubts, undoing, and finally trusting my own taste. Something truer came out of it. And now it’s yours. Thank you for listening, wherever you do💜 Grateful to everyone who helped this song become what it is. production: @thimea1111 mixing: @thimea1111 mastering: @annamurphy_official artwork: @lydia.perrot & @tunaybora.io #newmusic#wave#synth#bestbehavior
