Voice — the first rejection
A classroom made the voice feel like something that needed permission. Music became the long route back to using it anyway.
01 / The throughline
Not a bio. A chain of evidence.
The projects look different from the outside. They are versions of the same act: reject the inherited frame, do the work yourself, and leave enough of the process visible that someone else can check it.
