Growing up in Los Angeles was very special to me. I remember riding my bike from my parent's house in Marina Del Rey to Venice beach and wandering the boardwalk listening to all the different musicians busking, the multiple stereos playing different stations, and all the sounds that came from the Westside. At the time, I didn't fully understand how lucky I was to bask in those moments that taught me about music, culture and life, but now that I'm older, I realize that Los Angeles is the reason for my diverse musical taste. It's the reason that my music is filled with attitude and love. It's the reason I pursued music to begin with. Most people who aren't from here believe that LA is about the materialistic things and being famous, but the true LA thing is being respected for what we're good at and being recognized for the incredible amount of work we dedicate to our craft. This double vinyl is really important to me because it represents a time in my life where I was still growing and learning to love and accept myself. It's a road map of my growth as an artist and I think it's really easy to hear how my life, sound and voice progress from EP to EP. I'm excited to move into my next album, but I'm grateful that I have a moment to truly appreciate how far I've come and share that with my incredibly supportive fans. <3
