Her work explores life, love, loss, relationships, mental health struggles, and the complexities of growing up in the 21st century, transforming personal experiences into songs that invite listeners to see themselves in her stories. At the heart of her artistic practice is a belief that music can make people feel understood and remind them that they are not alone.
