To Keep Creating Music

Silence isn’t limiting—it’s powerful. It holds space for thought, for breath, and for the music that follows. Many people use the word determination lightly, but I’ve learned it’s more than just a mindset. It’s a rhythm—a blend of highs and lows that, when balanced, can create something extraordinary.

When I was 12, I discovered that even in the darkest moments, something beautiful can emerge. In my lowest moment, my grandmother’s final wish was simple: stay determined. Since then, I’ve carried that with me like a melody I refuse to forget.

At 16, I recorded my first song. It was a milestone, but I knew I had a long way to go. Less than a year later, I released a track that better reflected my emotions, because by then, I had learned to produce not just for myself, but for others as well.

Today, I’m a professional producer working out of studios across Manhattan, including Dubway and Muve Media. I’ve collaborated with rising underground artists like Y2Kay! and BeachBoi Tahjj, and I continue to release my own songs, written, produced, and mixed by me. My work as an assistant engineer has also earned recognition: an artist I worked with gifted me a framed gold Billboard award in gratitude for my contributions.

I don’t take my determination lightly. It’s a promise I made to myself, and to my late grandmother: to keep the dream alive. To keep creating music.
