in this episode, i share the real story behind how my music career began. from quitting my jobs and university at nineteen to recording songs in my parents’ attic, i talk about the leap of faith that shaped everything that came after. i reflect on the late nights of teaching myself to record and produce, the mentorship that taught me to have no plan b, and how one gut-led cover changed my life forever. it’s a story about intuition, perseverance, and how art can reach farther than we ever imagine.

show notes:

• how quitting school and jobs became my turning point

• lessons from my early mentors

• creating music from the attic

• redefining what it means to “make it” as an independent artist

• the deeper purpose of covering songs and channeling emotion through sound

• listener stories that reminded me why music matters

• a reminder that your art just needs to be honest
