LUXE

about

there is so much that i could say about this project.

when i first started working on it in 2019, i originally wanted to call it "LUXE." the original title was meant to be an ironic joke because i wanted listeners to feel the dissonance between the sleek sounding title and the nihlistic, fucked up music. that dissonance is largely how i felt during the time i created this project.

this project is about fear of being commodified for profit

this project is about feeling at odds with the way that you are perceived

this project is about losing yourself to yourself and then finding yourself again

this project helped me grow as a person in very profound ways. like most people, i went thru a lot of interpersonal changes in the last three years and this project helped me process a lot along the way. during the pandemic this project's lore became especially intertwined with my own life to the point where i feel like i've lived inside this project like an apartment or your favorite sweater, and just as i was almost done with it i felt like it deserved a personal, more expressive title.

the landlord is on my ass for rent and its time for me to move the fuck out.

i hope you enjoy my debut album

"THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE ME, I'LL BE BURNING."
