OH MY GOD!!! This is my very first billboard!!! 😭✨
This moment represents so much more than just new music, it’s years of pushing through a whole new path that was way outside of my comfort zone.
Back in 2018, I knew I needed a reset, a new purpose. Something that could make me feel alive again. The transition was very difficult and honestly, it still is. As an independent artist, I’m constantly reminded that I’m building this project without a big machine behind me. But what I do have now is an incredible team that believes in me, and I’m beyond grateful to have them by my side.
Tides is my baby!!! I’ve poured everything into it. It represents me fully, and I’m so proud of it.
I know the world feels heavy right now, but I always believed that art has the power to heal especially in chaotic times. I hope this project gives you whatever it is you need in this moment. 🙏🏽💙

Going through memory lane with some of my favorite sets.✨
These sessions are where it all began for me (shoutout to the #TGIK era if you remember 👀). They were my safe space, where I could dig, experiment, and figure out my sound. It’s through these that I fell in love with Afro House & Afro Tech, and started to grow into my own voice as a music curator.
It all started with my best friend @mc.turcotte . Merci tellement d’avoir cru en mes folies, tu as changé ma vie haha rien de moins! #playground 😘✨
And to everyone who’s rocked with me through these sessions and kept listening, thank you. You’ve made this journey what it is. 🙏🏽✨
