It all started with J!N — just satire and fun. No pressure, no deep meaning. Just playful pop energy. But that fun opened a door… and I walked through it.

Tøniq came next — she was meant to be J!N’s female counterpart. “J!N and Tøniq” just sounded fun 😄 But then she evolved into something emotional and honest. Music stopped being just for laughs… it became self-expression.

Blue followed, and brought vulnerability. His songs spoke from a queer perspective — soft, sad, real. Tøniq deepened too, singing about heartbreak and longing.

Then came Elio — thoughtful, introspective, healing. His songs reflect life journeys — not just physical travel, but emotional and spiritual ones too. After all the pain was spoken, Elio made space for reflection, for growth, for stillness.

And then Chanel arrived 💋 She brought the glam and the flirtation — a return to *fun.* But she wasn’t just surface sparkle. Her song *So Human* gave her a new layer — not emotional, but observational. She watched human nature with curiosity… and that’s what gave her the right to sing *Illogical.*

Now, full circle… I’m leaving the *pure joy* to J!N. He started it all — and he’ll keep dancing through it. ❤️

These characters may look different, sound different, and sing about different things — but they are all different sides of the same coin. Just like we all are.

I hope these songs reach you. I hope they resonate. I hope they inspire, comfort, or bring a little clarity.
If you’ve ever felt the same things — or something close — I hope you feel seen. And maybe even a little less alone.

💖 Thank you so much for listening, subscribing, and being part of this journey. It means more than you know.

We don’t always realize it, but every time we choose kindness over cruelty, patience over anger, and love over bitterness… we’re breaking cycles. We’re lighting up the dark.

Thank you to everyone who connected with “A Light in the Dark.” This song is for all the cycle breakers out there. It ends with us.

🎧 COMING SOON: “Fan No. 1,760,059”
Okay… I kinda felt silly writing this 😅
But I had a moment over an online crush (don’t we all?) and felt like a giddy high school kid again — so I turned it into a song.

It’s fun, dreamy, and just the right amount of ridiculous.
Of course, I let Tøniq sing it — she handles this kind of thing way better than I do 😎

Title’s totally random, but it felt right.
“Fan No. 1,760,059” 💌
Coming soon — stay tuned!

🌙 **NEW VIDEO OUT NOW — “What Do You Dream?” by TØNIQ**
▶️ Watch here: https://youtu.be/wTNwZzLY_Co?si=xIDv3...

In this scene, Tøniq stands alone on a quiet boat as the moon begins to rise — not from the sky, but from deep within the lake. It’s a symbol: that even in our darkest, most uncertain moments, hope can still surface from the places we least expect. Sometimes, even a reflection is enough to remind us of the light.

The falling leaves that cover and surround the boat represent the choices we’ve made — the beautiful, the reckless, the bold, the foolish. Every one of them. And as the leaves begin to glow and rise into the air, forming a glowing circle around her, they become a symbol of guidance — like a new sun made from our lived experiences.

It’s a reminder that life is never perfect — but it’s always meaningful.
We live. We mess up. We learn. We heal. And we try again.

✨ Every choice becomes a light to guide the next.

🎧 Out Now: Don’t Pretend
I wrote this for those battling depression, addiction, or deep self-doubt — and for the families who love them but don’t know how to help.

Sometimes the root isn’t laziness or apathy. It’s shame. Shame for not being who they once dreamed they could be. And then comes fear — fear of being judged, of failing again, of letting people down. So they isolate, thinking it’s safer to disappear than disappoint anyone one more time.

But here’s what I hope this song reminds you:
They are still worth loving.
They are still worth saving.
They are still worth your patience.

Don’t Pretend is for anyone who’s ever felt lost in that loop… and for those who refuse to give up on them.

Three songs. One journey.

I’m really excited to share a trilogy of songs that grew out of a very personal place — starting with “Lost in Your Abstract World” performed by Blue. This one came from reflection, from learning the hard way, and from finding clarity in chaos. It’s vulnerable. It’s raw. And it opened the door to something unexpected.

From that song came two others — like echoes from the same storm:
“Abstract” and “Love Absurd”, both performed by Chanel, explore the emotional fallout in surreal, sonically experimental ways. I played with tribal beats, glitchy textures, and even took inspiration from Björk’s unhinged beauty — letting the sound spiral and bloom in unpredictable ways.

These songs are connected, but each one has its own mood, its own pulse.

And I’m just getting started. More coming soon.

Some dreams don’t leave us…
they just get quieter.

My next song with Elio is for the ones who had to grow up too soon—
for those who traded passion for responsibility,
and forgot what they once dreamed of becoming.

It’s called “Dreams That Time Forgot.”
And it’s coming soon. 🌲

I hope it finds the part of you that still remembers.

An acquaintance, a family friend I have not seen in some time, approached me and directed his attention toward someone else, referring to that individual as a "Marites" while laughing. I observed him with amusement, intrigued by how some individuals fail to recognize the irony in their behavior. In light of this experience, I composed the song titled "Have You Heard About Marites." I intended for the title to embody irony, as it begins as gossip about someone who engages in gossip. This is also why I chose not to simply name the song "Marites."

When someone puts their pride and ego above everything else,
and expressing how you feel always turns into a fight —
there’s no resolution, no growth, no change.

Staying becomes a betrayal of who you are.
This song is about knowing when enough is enough.
Sometimes the bravest thing to do… is walk away.

🎧 Walk Away by TØNIQ — out next week.
