noise dept.

i started making songs like 13 years ago. maybe longer tbh. it’s been so long I don’t even really remember. well, i guess i could count. ok let’s count. im 32 and i started when i was like 15 (when i wrote my first song), so that’s 17 years. cool, got it. and ive played a lot of songs a lot of times, but never in istanbul turkey.

i have played shows in other cities in Europe a few times before (which we’ll be doing after turkey). and I have played some of my own music at those shows. but this time it all feels different. And there’s a chance that it feels different because I want it to be different? But no, this all feels different.

but none of those shows felt like this. not even if you added them all up together. and tbh, its not even the SHOWS, but more the whole thing. mainly the interactions and love and community im feeling here on the internet. and i have to say its really a crazy feeling.

it can be really lonely sharing yourself. id be lying if I said i make things solely for myself. i make things in the WAYS I DO solely for myself. i dont bend or adapt because I think it’ll get your guys attention quicker or easier. you guys cant be fooled. it’s impossible. I’ve tried. and it’s SO crazy to me, and I feel SO fulfilled because all of these songs I’m playing, and photos, and posts im sharing, are just my natural reactions to whatever is in front of me. idk if that’s clear enough or makes sense, but im saying, im keeping it a buck, and just being real and you guys seem to believe in that, and it’s fucking free’ing. and you guys are allowing me to be myself and contribute to your lives. and seeing me for that. so thank you. it’s so liberating, and so incredible.

btw, music really is coming soon. and that’s not in a promo kinda way. all the details are being worked out and songs will arrive. and I really hope you like them. i really like them. but okay, im ranting now. I’ve probably been ranting. excuse my terrible writing btw. Love to all of you everywhere all the time. I’m going to continue sitting on this flight to Istanbul turkey rn.

what made you want to start doing what you are doing now? is there any advice you would give to anyone wanting to go the same path as you?

i’ll be seeing u guys in singapore and im rlly excited! have u guys been there before and is there something u guys r curious/excited to see here?

thank you x

ps. the food here is amazing, def check out places (if u have the time ofc) like newton food centre and lau pau sat!!! hope u guys enjoy your time in sg :-)

Thank you! Doing really well. Bout to leave for Europe soon!

I think just being a fan of stuff got me into doing what im doing now. It’s like an important mix of curiosity, ego, and vulnerability or something. My only advice would be to be yourself through and through, and work really hard. No oppurtunity is too little to check out. No song is bad. It all leads up to something. And don’t be afraid to learn.
