I’m so excited (and honestly a little emotional) to finally share this...

I’m officially beginning the journey of creating my first FULL 15-song album recorded entirely with a live band, and I’m inviting my community to help bring it to life.

This album is called "What Happens to the Girl"

This project has been in the works for months but honestly being lived out, my whole life. These songs represent seasons of growing up, changing, heartbreak, healing, and the moments that shaped who I am and most importantly who I am becoming every day.

I don’t want to make this album halfway—I want to make it the way it deserves to be made: live, honest, cinematic, and deeply, deeply human.

To do that, my goal is to raise $65,000 IN 30 DAYS

This is what that funding will cover to bring every part of this record to life:

studio rental - $5,000

live musicians - $15,000+ (7 piece band)

videography and visual storytelling - $10,000 (music videos, visualisers and social media)

the full production process/mixing/mastering from start to finish - $30,000+

I also want to be transparent that I’m investing in this project personally as well. I’m putting $5,000 of my own money into styling, photography, and graphic design costs because I believe in this vision enough to invest in myself first and I never wanted to ask people to support something I wasn’t willing to sacrifice for too.

This album is bigger than the music for me. It’s a body of work. ART that I truly believe can connect with people, tell honest stories, and create moments that make listeners feel seen.

If my music has ever meant something to you, if you’ve ever come to a show, shared a song, or believed in what I’m creating, I would be so grateful for your support.

Every contribution—big or small—directly helps turn these songs from voice notes and journal pages into a fully alive album.

More than anything, this is an invitation to be part of the story from the very start.

Thank you for believing in me, in these songs, and in what this project can become.
