Musical Style & Inspirations
My mother passed away when I was 16 years old. To be honest, the driving force behind my music really is Jesus. Without him, I wouldn't have the strength to even create memories through songs. Hardships that come from loss can harden the hearts of people. When Jesus came into my life, the hardened heart I carried became soft and fertile to grow in love again. That's why I create music. Everyone will experience loss someday, and I hope my songs will help them see the light in their darkness.
