āStupid Skinā (2024) is for all humans, but especially for the neurodivergent community. I am so obnoxiously proud of you, me, and us for making it all the way to today in a society built too small to accommodate our big olā spicy brains.
ā¢
āStupid Skinā is the first installment of what I intend to be a series, sharing unpolished recordings of the work I find most fulfilling⦠and frightening.
ā¢
I semi-unintentionally stopped posting music over the last few years, because I thought Iād regret sending my vulnerable stories out into the world before they were fully polished and painstakingly produced. But dude, Iām *not* a producer, a master guitarist, or a sound engineer (not now, at leastā never say never lol). Idk who I was waiting for.
ā¢
I *am* a lyricist, storyteller, and songbird. The world is on fire and Iād regret it if my work only made it out of my brain and into my notes app. So hereās a chunk of āStupid Skin.ā Oof⦠that sounded a little graphic. Oh well.

i had a lot of fun putting my spin on this dope song: ānot a homeā by @pardyalone š«¶ #openversechallenge
.
havenāt been feeling very ha-ha funny lately (canāt imagine why) so itās been a lot of music writing for personal expression rather than rambling on tiktok about old houses and ghosties. sheāll be back but she needs to sing about sad stuff for a while first. š„²

ur girl is feeling v excited and confused about reaching 20k followers on tiktok?? wtf. anyway i said iād start posting more music when i reached this milestone so⦠itās happening. shoutout @johnmarknelson for this ridiculously cool beat.
Unfortunately for everyone else on earth I have now seen The Love Witch and Iām gonna be annoying about it for a while š®āļø

Never expected to find myself more excited about a filmās stylistic choices than the story itself⦠but thereās a first time for everything. And dude, what a fun watch. š 200K is both a fantastic budget and a shoestring, depending on who you ask, but they put every single penny (rip) to work and the some.

What a weekend, baby. Fridayā a beautiful evening spent celebrating @marissaoneill and @a_hazy_baby as they embark on the next chapter of their big, beautiful adventure together. Saturdayā a broken phone meant extra quality time with one of my oldest friends (who just happens to be a nearly toothless 15 year old dachschund). Sundayā spent the morning wondering who the hell was asleep on a paddle board in the middle of the lake⦠shouldāve known the whole time that it had to be Claire.

Grateful, grateful, grateful.
Quick lil cute lil acoustic cover of a song I wish I wrote⦠featuring the infinitely cool and super talented @bluehasnoclues š¦š¶ Our first time appearing on screen together was in that one Woodoku commercial where Blueās a math genius and Iām just kinda standing there watching a guy choke to death before a certain beloved television host saves the day⦠now weāre back by highly popular demand. š Song: Please Please Please ā Sabrina Carpenter

ABERRATION āShort Filmā - Trailer
Releasing Feb. 7th 2025
Directed by Shani Varner
This story is one Iāve been yearning to tell for nearly a decade. It represents what I hope to be one of the most profound and evocative personifications of grief, brought to life through a visually and emotionally striking symphony of phantasmagoric imageryāsomething truly unlike anything youāve seen before. Itās a labor of love and humility, shaped by the phenomenal artists involved in its creation. We canāt wait for you to experience it, share it with your friends, and talk about it exhaustively . This film offers something special for everyoneāa chance to discover a piece of yourself within every frame.
