Track #1 - Rise
The EP begins with the title song, “Rise”, about my journey since arriving to Los Angeles. It’s about perseverance, disappointments and wanting to put the mic down but never being able to leave it on the floor for very long. It’s about facades and maneuvering as a sheep amongst wolves. Mostly, it’s about resurrection and getting back up to begin again.
My journey into music production began with this song, 1 year ago. I had the words and melodies, but because the story was so personal to me, I knew I needed to be able to create the sounds I heard to go along with it. I spent many nights and many days exploring, uncovering, scrapping and restarting, just to catch a glimpse of where I wanted this to be and what I wanted it to feel like. Production is a WHOLE other ball game, but it’s given me an extra limb- a new way to express and create more fully and “Rise” started it all!
