about me
i'm a 20 year old artist and vocal synth artist based in the northeast united states. i use he/they pronouns, and i've been drawing for a little over 8 years. however, i've actually only started writing music in the past year!i am also relatively new to the vocal synth community in general, as i only came across it late in the summer of 2022. however, i am also autistic and it has quickly become my new special interest, and with my Autistic Audacity i am determined to start writing and publishing my own music and PVs, despite being quite late to start...i am currently in college, so my time is very limited! i also have chronic illnesses and mental health issues that make it hard to stay consistent with making art and music, as well as my perfectionism making me VERY slow, but i will try to at least keep you updated on social media (linked below!)
my music
my first EVER song is OUT NOW!!!perfectionism's mechanism ft. kevin (linked below)i used garageband for my first song, but i now have and will be using logic pro x moving forwards! i also use synthv studio pro (i currently own kevin, solaria, and teto; and i am hoping to get yuma soon <3)my biggest inspirations in the vocal synth community include GHOST, RIProducer, and Vane Lily! i have a lot more inspirations but you’ll have to ask me directly for more!! outside of vocal synth music, the main inspirations that i'd like to emulate in my music include twenty one pilots, MARINA, and the homestuck soundtrack (esp. rex duodecim angelus and BL1ND JUST1C3: 1NV3ST1G4T1ON !!), as well as an array of random and specific songs that inspire me, and more general pop punk and "emo" music influences!!my songs will often deal with mature subject material, as i hope to be able to share things from my own experiences through my music. it will often deal with themes of mental illness, childhood abuse/truama, sucidation, dissociation, and (maybe) self harm, but each song will also be labeled with appropriate trigger warnings.my musical background consists of playing piano from the ages of 4-12 (i quit cause i burned out from schoolwork), and continuing to play bits of songs that i like on the piano after that. i also enjoy singing, but i hate the way my voice sounds, so don't expect much of that...as far as the use of my music, i am okay with covers, remixes, and other interpretations of my music (animatics/edits are welcome!) however! i just ask that you be mindful of the content discussed in my songs, and not use my music for anything that would be inappropriate/hurtful considering the content of my songs. if you have any questions about a cover/remix you are working on, feel free to reach out! i may share midi files if you are interested in covering the instrumentals too :)for any fellow artists! i am more than happy to participate in collabs or help in any capacity, feel free to reach out to me on any social medias and i will try to get back to you asap :) my time is limited but i love any opportunity to collaborate or learn from other artists!
my art
here are some of my favorite pieces i've done recently! (most to least recent)
all are fanart unless otherwise stated!! (last piece is original work)
i use procreate for my digital art, and i've used capcut for editing my videos!my art has improved a lot over the years, but its not quite where i want it to be yet! i'm also currently taking electives for an art minor so i may share some traditional pieces from my classes! I am unfortunately very slow with art, as even my lowest effort pieces take 1-2 hrs... so uhhh yeah if i don't post for a bit thats why!i am open for commissions, but not actively searching. if you're interested, reach out to me on social media and we can discuss prices/terms and conditions! i am also open to collaborations for art for pvs, so definitely reach out if you're interested! no promises for either though, depends on my schedule + life...
