Behind the Music: Make It Home
I just dropped a new single, “Make It Home,” which you can purchase on EVEN. You’ll also be able to find it in all your traditional streaming platforms within a week or so. I wanted to talk a little about the inspiration behind this song. This song was born out of a very dark place, but I was able to turn that anxiety into something I found beautiful.
Last December, somebody came into the barbershop where my boyfriend was working. He had a little studio in the back room. This guy scooted by with a mask and shot one of the employees there and ran off.
I’m at Monster High!
This was a really fun and cute project that genuinely got me excited when it came across my inbox. I got to voice the singing voice for Jinafire Long, one of the newest characters at Monster High! When I first got the ask, I was already intrigued by the Mattel name, coming off of the Barbie movie hype (I did dress all in pink to go see the movie in theaters). But then I heard the character brief and I instantly got butterflies. Jinafire is such an badass character; she is a Chinese dragon and she’s got purple hair and can control the weather.
Reflections from YANG
My EP “YANG” is finally out, 4 years after I first started piecing it together. The oldest song on the album is from 2019. I’m not sure why it took this long. I realized I had been waiting for some stroke of luck. Some windfall of change, or some moment when I would finally feel ready. But I don’t want to live my life like that anymore, on the starting lines.
