About me

Hello! I’m an aspiring musician, poet, and writer who enjoys analyzing artistic expression in any kind of medium. I am currently in three bands, one of which I front.

My alternative band, The Thylacines, has one recurring motif in its creative process: genuine artistic expression. Paraphrased, this ideology states that my band makes music for artistic expression rather than a desire to comply to popular culture or capitalism. We believe that music should be a respected art form—one that rejects pop music’s bureaucracy—that any person (despite class, phenotype, and preference) can both participate and succeed with. To convey this motif, our music traverses a wide range of genres, including bedroom pop, alternative rock, synth-pop, hip hop, folk, R&B, and jazz. Our musical genre is always shifting timbres depending on the context of our designated concept album. Moreover, we plan to collaborate with a diverse range of artists. We love the Indie music scene, and I especially enjoy listening to underground musicians’ works of art.
