Pieces of Me is more than just an album—it’s a deeply personal exploration of trauma, identity, and the long, often painful process of healing. It tells the story of a woman trying to break free from the weight of her past to become the person she needed when she was younger. Each song represents a piece of that journey, but this project extends far beyond the music.

This blog is where I share the full experience: the creative process, the emotional setbacks, the internal battles, and the moments of growth that come with releasing music shaped by personal trauma. It’s about more than just the inspiration behind the songs—it’s about the realities of living through, reflecting on, and speaking about those experiences.

During my Master of Arts in Music, I began exploring how songwriting could be used as a tool for processing trauma. That research aligned with my own journey and helped shape Pieces of Me into something much bigger than an academic project or a debut album. It became a vessel for truth.

The album follows the arc of a woman burdened by unhealed trauma—how that pain echoes through her decisions, how it’s dismissed by those around her, and how she begins the difficult work of reclaiming her voice. The ending isn’t neat or easy—but it’s real. And within that honesty, there is hope.

Healing isn’t linear. It’s messy, painful, and often demands letting go of people, patterns, and places that no longer serve us. Pieces of Me doesn’t pretend otherwise. It sits in the discomfort and dares to keep going.

If you're on your own journey of healing, I hope my music—and the stories I share here—offer you the comfort of knowing you’re not alone.

Pieces of Me will continue unfolding over the coming months, with new music arriving this summer. I'm so grateful to have you with me on the journey toward sharing the full story.

Thank you for being part of this.

I appreciate you.
