Original Song: "Attention"
This is an older video, but still one of the best/catchiest songs I have written to date. Based heavily in the idea of "feeling my feelings" and expressing some rage at a boy who was being... well, a boy.
Recorded: March 2018
Cover: "No Matter What" from Steven Universe
Here's another cover, this time from the cartoon Steven Universe. I enlisted the help of long-time collaborator and bestie extraordinaire Josh Hne for this one, and I hope you can tell how much fun we had with it.
Recorded: January 2020
Original Song: "The Race"
Based on the idea of "the race to success" that plagues young people's social media feeds and clouds their mindsets, this song was originally written as a final project for an English class I took freshman year of college.
Recorded: May 2018
Cover: "Il mare eterno nella mia anima" by Taku Iwasaki
I don't currently make money directly from my videos, so I'm not making money off of covering other people's music... but I still like sharing songs I cover. This is from the anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency. It contains some spoilers for the anime, so you've been warned. (Yes, nerds, this is a JoJo's reference.)
Recorded: December 2020
Original Song: "can't talk now"
I am pretty open about my struggles with mental health as a way of de-stigmatizing the oppressive, problematic structures that vilify people who are neuro-divergent in society. This one goes out to all the friends who showed me support during the extremely bad recurrence of depression I had at the time this was recorded.

Cover: "Stand by Me" by Ben E. King
This is one of my quicker covers, where I just dragged out the piano, set up the mic and camera, and went for it. Not much else to it!
