At the start of the pandemic in 2020, I found myself creating a five-song EP titled Lavender Dreams—a collection that remains some of my proudest musical work. Until now, these tracks lived only in private folders and half-finished links shared with close friends for feedback.

Looking back six years later, I feel a deep sense of nostalgia for the stylistic choices I made then. They capture the sheer joy of the creative process during a formative, peculiar chapter of life—a time when we were all bracing for a world that felt disconnected and unknown. Whether you’ve stumbled upon these songs by accident or intent, I’m grateful you’ve given your time to these pieces of my heart.
