i am very young and i am learning how to live was my senior thesis project in music to graduate from college last spring. I consider it a culmination of both the musical and personal journey of my college experience, exploring themes of imposter syndrome, mental health, fear of falling behind and growing older, the glorification of youth, relationships with loved ones and temporality, filial piety, homesickness, nostalgia, and dreams (and the anxieties attached to their pursuit).
I wrote, composed, performed, recorded, produced, and mixed everything by myself in my bedroom (and other various non-professional-studio-locales), but hope the sincerity shines through any imperfections in the mix, and that it gives you a better sense of who I am as a singer-songwriter-producer-artist-human-being.
the album is messy and vulnerable and frankly doesn’t portray me in the most flattering or ideal light — but it is honest, and it is my shouting into the void, my self-indulgent ask: is anybody out there? can you see me? can you hear me, understand me? can you love me? despite, despite, despite? perhaps even because?
