UNAPOLOGETIC had been in my orbit for a while, but by the time I really started getting integrated into the fold fr in 2022/2023 I was on the other side of a lot of painful endings, feeling very wounded and wary of trusting people. I worked as IMAKEMADBEATS's assistant for a year, and found myself surrounded by music and very kind, creatively curious people everyday. It reignited my love for singing and songwriting, but more than that it helped me find my way back to myself after who I thought I was had come apart completely.
