About

"Ocean Inside Of Me" is the title track of my second album which I’ve been working on for over 3 years now. This song marks the beginning of a ten song journey from dark to light. It’s a deeply personal collection of songs written while I was struggling with my mental health and recovering from it. Telling this story from the other side means a lot to me and I hope it can make others feel seen and less alone on their journey.

This first song is about a moment of stillness and loneliness where you face the heaviness of your struggle. I wrote the lyrics sitting by the ocean in Tenerife at night under a sky full of stars after a really tough day. I was slowly coming out of the denial that I'm ok and realizing that I was depressed. Music gave the words to me long before I dared to speak them to anybody else. 

It was in that night that I got the idea to make an album called “Ocean Inside Of Me”, on the 22 of December 2019. At the time I didn’t know where my journey would take me, and it wouldn’t be an easy road - I even got to a place where I didn’t write songs, everything felt really dark. But as I became more self aware and started healing the album became a part of my journey, of reclaiming my voice and working towards something that matters to me. 

This song and album wouldn’t be what it is without Dominic Romano who produced it. I feel so lucky that I got to work with him, he’s an incredible producer and a dear friend. Through the process of bringing these songs to life we both dove very deep into their stories and I always felt heard and safe - I found someone just as passionate about the project as I am. Sending tracks back and forth between Cologne and California we have become a really good team!

As you listen to this first chapter of “Ocean Inside Of Me” I hope you can allow yourself to listen in the way that supports you the best. If you know the place it describes know that you’re not alone. It does get better, be kind to yourself.
