“I Didn’t Write This Song — It Wrote Me.”
I lost my father in 2021. The weight of that grief… I didn’t know what to do with it. Words failed me, but music didn’t. One night, it all came pouring out. This song just happened, almost like it had been waiting for me. I recorded a demo, and I never re-recorded the vocal. I couldn’t. That first take held something I could never recreate, something too raw, too real.
“Body Talk” is about communicating without words, being sensitive to what someone is thinking by reading their body language, and hoping they understand you in the same way.
In the past I’ve often been too nervous, scared or excited to tell someone how I felt, instead relying on physical hints & interactions to communicate.
This live recording is part of a deeply personal collection that explores the messy, beautiful chaos of early adulthood, the kind of growth that scrapes you up before it builds you back. We recorded it in an intimate session at Hipposonic Studios in Vancouver, and you can feel that closeness in every breath, every note.
If you’ve ever felt lost, in-between, or on the edge of something new, this one’s for you. I hope when you hear it, you feel like you were right there in the room with us.

This song came from a place we all know too well, that slow, sinking feeling of losing yourself in the grind. Métro, boulot, dodo, as we say in France, the loop that numbs, dulls, disconnects. Its about that dissonance between what we feel and what we’re told to be. What ideologies we’re fall in. Our beliefs. Heart versus head. Dreams versus deadlines.
It’s a song of tension, personal and societal, wrapped in cold air and quiet frustration. If you’ve ever walked a familiar path and wondered how you got there..This one’s for you.
Strange World is my way of making sense of the chaos around us. This debut album is an honest reflection of modern life, the beauty, the contradictions, the surreal moments that make us stop and ask, “What even is this place?”
I didn’t want to just dwell on the confusion, though. I wanted to offer something hopeful too. Because as strange as the world gets, life is still incredibly beautiful, and far too precious to waste. If this album opens a door for someone, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, then I’ve done what I set out to do.
Strange World is reflective, yes… but it carries light. I hope you hear it.

Sometimes the world just gets too loud. The hum of a crowded bus, the clatter of a busy café, or even the mental noise we carry around with us, it builds up. And in the middle of it all, trying to think clearly or feel something real can feel almost impossible.
Philosophies of a Restless Mind is my response to that chaos. It’s a quiet space carved out of the noise, a gentle, reflective escape meant to bring calm and clarity. It’s like deep breaths, soft moments of focus in an otherwise restless world.
If your mind ever feels like it’s racing while the world spins too fast… this one’s for you.
