My EP will finally be yours on my birthday!
A little backstory to this project:
I have Functional Neurological Disorder.
This means that at some point my brain decided to stop sending signals to the rest of my body correctly.
At the end of 2022 I had my first seizure.
I then had multiple, often quite violent and exhausting, seizures every day for a very long time, which sent me into the worst period of mental health I’ve ever experienced.
Since they started, I’ve developed other symptoms - including tics, lack of sensation or movement in my limbs, fluctuations in my vision & hearing, short term memory loss, speech difficulties, temporary paralysis, fatigue and stroke-like symptoms. There have been times when I genuinely thought I was going to die because I had no idea what was happening in my body.
These past few years have taken a lot of emotional and physical strength to get to a point where I feel at home in my body again. Before this all started, I had so many aspirations for myself (I want to be a full-time musician!!) but instead I’ve been focusing on getting my life back together.
I often feel guilty when I use the energy I’ve saved for activities with my friends instead of working toward my career goals.
It’s been important for me to surround myself with love whilst I’ve been struggling to give it to myself.
I’ve been wanting to release music for years, and I have so many new songs to share, but first and foremost, it feels important to share a few older songs. I’ve spent time reworking five tracks, which has been both heartbreaking and tender to acknowledge my healing. I still want to give my able-bodied self the time she deserved, and the space to have a voice about an experience of love, heartbreak, and sexual abuse.
This entirely independent EP is dedicated to her.
Happy (soon) birthday Joelle!
