"Burning Rubber" centres on the rush of instant attraction, capturing the split second when you see someone, your heart rate climbs, and everything else in the room fades away. I wrote this one in my basement studio the very next morning after watching sparks fly between a couple of strangers. Once I hit that first line, "Walked in just trying to catch a break," the whole song just poured out. This track captures the reckless adrenaline of meeting someone new, like flooring it on a backroad bend. It's a high-energy snapshot of intensity that stays focused on the thrill of the chase and the memories that stay with you. Music has been my escape for as long as I can remember. I’ve written well over a hundred songs, and songwriting is a huge part of who I am. Whether it’s through music, poetry, or visual arts, creativity has always been my way of making sense of the world. I’ve recorded in Nashville, Toronto, and Montreal, pouring everything into my upcoming EP, set to release later this year! Born and raised in Toronto’s Beaches neighbourhood, with summers spent in Montreal, I grew up surrounded by music, art, and inspiration. My sound blends pop, rock, and country influences, pulling from both contemporary artists and timeless legends, to create something authentic for this generation. Follow me on social media!

“Cowboy” came from that feeling of missing someone and realizing how hard it is to move on when everything reminds you of them. It was the first track I ever made on Logic Pro, and the original guitar beat I created ended up staying in the final version. While watching Yellowstone, I was drawn to its rugged, Western energy and wanted to bring that same spirit into the song. The song reflects that push and pull between holding on and letting go, blending a cinematic country sound with real emotion and a sense of strength that comes from moving forward.

Where the dust ain’t seem to settle Loving out here’s a losing battle I keep riding out the pain like it's part of the road Nothing I do seems to be working Can't seem to move on, but hell, I'm learning Like a cowboy, I'll just chase after your ghost Watching you go I’ve been livin’ like a cowboy Out here on my own But the nights get a little lonely And it’s hard to feel at home Your memory’s like a lasso That keeps pulling me back I keep talking to the silence ‘Cause it’s all that I have Still feel you all around Where do I go now? Where the dust ain’t seem to settle Loving out here’s a losing battle I keep riding out the pain like it's part of the road Nothing I do seems to be working Can't seem to move on, but hell, I'm learning Like a cowboy, I'll just chase after your ghost Watching you go Oh Watching you go You’re all I know Light a match (Light a match) Let it fall (Let it fall) Breathe you in (Ash and all) Drag out the smoke I can’t let you go ‘til I burn it all Where the dust ain’t seem to settle Loving out here’s a losing battle Nothing I do seems to be working Can't seem to move on, but hell, I'm learning Like a cowboy, I'll just chase after your ghost Watching you go

The tensions rising, Let's fall right in. Under the covers, Colliding lovers. Hearts are racing, Rules need breaking. The walls will rattle, Back in the saddle. Love in the wild, We give it style. Goin' so deep, So deep we cant breathe. Blowing smoke down my throat, I'll take every little dose. (Chorus) You give a little and then give me some more. I'll leave a light on, you can come on through the back door. Hot and dirty yeah, you're gasoline. Strike the match. Light your kerosene. Let's skip hello, Take off our clothes. Bite my lip, Been cravin' it. What ya got, It hit's the spot. Blowing smoke down my throat, I'll take every little dose. (Chorus) You give a little and then give me some more. I'll leave a light on, you can come on through the back door. Hot and dirty yeah, you're gasoline. Strike the match. Light your kerosene. Propane in my veins, In my brain, sing: Woah oh oh Midnight, come alive, Holding tight, sing: Woah oh oh Ticking like a time bomb, Eating of your palm, I just need one hit, Come on baby gimme. (Chorus) You give a little and then give me some more. I'll leave a light on, you can come on through the back door. Hot and dirty yeah, you're gasoline. Strike the match. Light your kerosene. (Guitar Solo)
