Music has always been my home. I was born into it. My grandmother and grandfather both sang, and their voices carried a warmth and power that filled every room. I grew up surrounded by melodies — in the kitchen, at family gatherings, and in those quiet moments before bed. Music wasn’t just entertainment. It was connection. It was memory. It was the heartbeat of my family.
I’ve also been fascinated with music for as long as I can remember — but it wasn’t just fascination, it was obsession. I didn’t just want to listen to music. I wanted to hear it in my bones, to feel it in my skin, to touch it with my hands. I wanted to understand it so deeply that I could create it myself.
From the first songs I heard as a child to the tracks I create today, music has always felt like a living force — something to explore, embody, and breathe in. It’s been my comfort, my curiosity, and my calling all at once.
That heartbeat still guides me today. Every song I create carries a piece of that legacy, passed down through generations.
StarFire Illusionist isn’t just a song — it’s the first portal into a future world I’ve been envisioning for years. Imagine a sprawling neon city under a blanket of stars. Skyscrapers hum with electric pink and blue light, and the air itself vibrates with energy.
This is a place of hypersensitivity — where every flicker of light, every shift in sound, every whisper of feeling is amplified. Here, emotions have colors. Sounds carry meaning. The whole city moves with the rhythm of a living heartbeat
Being a hypersensitive empath, I don’t just hear music — I feel it. It moves through me like breath, like life itself. When I close my eyes, I don’t see notes or chords — I sense their weight, their light, and their intention.
Every bassline is a pulse.
Every melody is a memory.
Every harmony is a conversation between my heart and the universe.
Music is my oxygen, my grounding, and my way of speaking when words aren’t enough.
I can’t just sit down and force music into being — I have to be in the right emotional space. My process is entirely by ear and by feeling. I follow my mood, my energy, and the story the song wants to tell.
For StarFire Illusionist, I used Remixlive, but technology was just the canvas. The real creation happened in my heart. I layered beats like brushstrokes, added melodies like threads of light, and shaped the track until it felt alive — until it felt like walking through that neon city in my mind.
This album is about being that shot in the dark. That spark in a world that sometimes forgets its magic. It’s about being unique, unapologetically yourself — even when you feel like you’re the less than 1% of the human population who sees the world differently.
To all my fellow rare souls: you are not alone. We hear you. We see you. We feel you. You are the beautiful unicorns 🦄 of this world, the ones who light up the darkness just by being exactly who you are.
