Cant Run
Facing Myself Through Music
Can't Run was one of my very first singles and marked an important moment in my journey as an artist. Built around a sample from Jennifer Lewis's interview on The Breakfast Club, this track reflects a time when I was discovering my sound and learning to express myself through electronic music. For me, it's a reminder that no matter how far we try to run from our fears, our past, or the truth, we eventually have to face them. Looking back, this release represents the beginning of the artist I continue to become.
