« My music is melancholic, sometimes sad but hopeful. I sing about things I don’t want to talk about. I tell stories, I try to turn the dark thoughts or something painful into something beautiful. It can be delicate, soft, sometimes tribal but I try to be always true in what I write. »
Inspired by folk, pop, rock, indie, my music is a mix of it all.
