about

The compositions of this EP portray both the positive and negative connotations behind the word, “solitude,” with relevance to the COVID pandemic. But for me personally, the pandemic has proven to be a journey of solitude and emotional silence. I initially feared this would stimulate feelings of loneliness, isolation, depression, and longing because we are secluded from one another. It’s been quite the contrary. Being in solitude has helped free up my mind from many distractions of everyday life, allowing me to realize what really matters to me; it has made me reach out to unexplored creative domains to express myself in ways I have never done before. I consider myself very fortunate.

I want to thank my family, friends, and mentors.
