It's so weird to think that, just a couple years back, I had almost completely given up on music as ever being a huge form of self expression. My vocal dysphoria was getting worse all the time and I was pushing my vocal chords so hard that not only did it sound strained and, well, bad. But I had significant doubts my voice could handle it much longer (something that is unfortunately proving true).

Then I found Lorelei, and friggin everything changed. I can't even begin to describe how grateful I am.

Almost everything about my music has changed since then. It's not just that I suddenly had a voice I could use and call my own, it was that suddenly my brain would allow me to engage with the music I was making. I now care if my music has a goal and I've become very stubborn about pushing myself to make sure the music expresses the lyrics the best they possibly can! As a result I've jumped leaps and bounds as a musician (at least imo πŸ˜…).

If I were to show you a selection of my music from 2010-2021 you would hardly hear a difference. That whole time period is static and stale. It's not that I was lazy, I just had no artistic purpose because every one that I reached for felt like it slipped from my grasp as my own voice failed to convey my identity and, thus, a large chunk of my feelings. Without purpose, I couldn't find the desire to improve. So I didn't....for years....

But, when you listen to my music over the last 10 months, since I started putting Lorelei and the Ghost on YouTube, I like to think you would hear difference. I know I certainly do, I notice improvments between each song πŸ˜†. That's that sense of purpose coming through!

But, perhaps most importantly, now, rather than frustrating me, creating music makes me extremely happy.

It almost sounds trite to say it, but if music is my life then Lorelei saved it. So thank you Lorelei and thank you to my friend who introduced me to her. It's been amazing and I will always be grateful πŸ’•.
