Lyricist

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: Honestly, I haven't had the chance to share much of my work publicly yet, but I’ve written a lot of lyrics over the years that I’m really proud of. Some of them have been shared with close friends or people in my life, but they’ve mostly remained personal for now. What makes me proud of them is the connection I feel to the words I’ve written. Even though they haven’t been seen by the public, those lyrics hold a lot of meaning for me. I’m looking forward to the day when I can share them more widely and have others connect with them too.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: Currently, I’m working on a song called "Shadow." It's about someone who’s deeply in love but feels like they're losing their sense of self in the relationship. They start to feel more like a shadow of their partner, rather than their own person. The song explores the emotional struggle of losing individuality while being in love, and how that can affect a person’s identity and well-being.

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: Since I’m still building my connections in the industry, I haven’t had the chance to work with many professionals on SoundBetter yet. However, I would recommend looking for someone whose style aligns with your vision and goals for your project. SoundBetter has a great community of producers, vocalists, and songwriters who specialize in different genres, so it's important to explore and find the right fit for your specific needs. Once I have more experience with collaborating on SoundBetter, I’ll definitely have more recommendations to share!

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I do have a special place for analog because of its warmth and unique character. There's something about the tactile nature of analog equipment that feels more personal and authentic. However, we are in a digital era, and digital tools offer unmatched convenience, precision, and versatility. For now, I lean toward digital because of its efficiency and the wide range of options it provides, but I definitely appreciate the charm of analog when I want a more organic sound.

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: My promise to you is that I will always put my heart and creativity into every lyric I write. I’ll work closely with you to understand your vision and ensure the lyrics reflect your message and emotions. I’m committed to delivering high-quality work that resonates with you and your audience. Whether it’s a playful, fun song or something deeply emotional, I’ll stay true to the essence of what you want to express. You can count on me to be reliable, open to feedback, and dedicated to making sure you're happy with the final result.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: A fun misconception about my work is that I write lyrics solely about deep or emotional topics. But I actually love pizza so much that sometimes, I end up writing fun or quirky lyrics about it. While my work is often focused on emotions and stories, I’m also not afraid to get playful with my writing. It’s all about finding inspiration in the little things, and pizza definitely deserves its own verse sometimes!

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: find my inspiration by observing the people around me, watching TV shows, or reading books. I pay attention to the emotions, interactions, and stories that stand out to me. This helps me connect with deeper themes or ideas for my lyrics. Once I have a concept or feeling, I write down the ideas in my diary or on my phone.
