I am a 18-year-old queer musician from New Jersey. I'm a songwriter, activist and poet. My main goal is to be a friend of the world and make a change. This year I will be a freshman at Stevens Institute of Technology where I will be majoring in Music and TechnologyI write and record everything myself, I have a hard time with taking myself seriously, so I have a lot of fun embracing the silliness of everything instead. I've performed solo, with bands, I've run sound, and I am always looking to do music things. I am always accepting inquiries and opportunities.I've been trying to create music longer than I've been able to even understand what it was, I would make fire beats on my leapfrog and beach pails. The ability to create has allowed me to communicate with the world in new depths. Music has taught me to experience the beauty in the sounds around me and experience the world through other people's eyes. It would be a dream to share that joy with others. Music has taught me how to be myself and share things I could never communicate. To share that power with people who haven't experienced it would be fulfilling. My goal is to make a difference and pump out good vibes. The world is so negative we need more joy. In my music, I try to hide little treats for the neurodivergent people who listen because there is nothing cooler than being neurodivergent and hearing music.Alongside music I am proud of my identity as a trans guy. That importance intertwines with music and my love for it. The trans experience shapes a unique perspective on life. The feeling of what we call gender euphoria is extremely similar to the feeling of a perfect song. When I look in a mirror and see myself for who I am, I get the same feeling my favorite songs give me. I really want to use my platform to show other queer folk that we are, and our experiences are beautiful. At a time where people try so hard to make it scary for the queer community, I want to use my power to rub our existence in their faces. I want to go out into the world and use my music to show people they aren't alone. It would be so much fun to start a revolution of trans folk in music.I have been documenting my transition on my Instagram for about two yeara, starting testosterone September 2022. I was finally able to get top surgery November 17th 2023. I wrote a little statement about the entire experience 3 days after surgery; I think it's a good explanation of my what my mission is for this life.Coming out of top surgery, overwhelmed with love and support and joy and no other words because nothing will ever truly represent how I felt at that moment. 3 days after the most important day of my life, after being kicked out of hospitals and denied service, after never thinking I'd make it, the beauty of the bare minimum is so much more because of how long it has taken for me to get here. I look forward to the world being able to see me for the rest of my life. In a singular day my outlook on everything has changed and I felt perfect. Everything is finally just the way it should be. I have no words. All I feel is peace.I've never known what comfort in your own body felt like. I’ve always thought that everyone is just sickened by themselves and now I understand that's not true. I couldn’t even fathom a world where you could wake up and just be you and then, I woke up after surgery and after a few hours of painkiller high died down, I felt like me, and I felt it all at once. I am alive and 17 years old and breathing and I've never experienced the simplicity of living in my own flesh the way I do now and I am so happy that I am this lucky. I’m happy I gained the blessing of being trans and I'm proud of my journey. Despite the years I hated this part of myself, I see the beauty I’ve gained from it. Being able to grow up and internally develop my own definition of identity in this way has made me a better person than I ever would have been if I was born cis. Identity is beautiful because it is always evolving with you, and no one can truly understand it for you. It's a journey of self love and self empowerment that sometimes you never think you will get through. I see my identity as this ghostly flame that dances through breezes with whatever colors represent it best at the time, and for a long time I made those flames so small and dull and suffocated in the wet leaves of my own disillusionment. I overburnt my crackling wick in a pool of self pity, and then all at once a lifetime's worth of emotion struck and lit a flame.I send so much love to the people who never got to this moment or can't right now and for the people who have spent their entire lives making sure that people like me can experience this. I want to dedicate my entire life to giving people joy and putting happiness out there because everyone deserves this. I want to put everything I can into this world because there's so many people like me that deserve this experience and deserve to take up space and I will not stop fighting until everyone can. I want happiness for all of us. Trans is powerful, it is beautiful, and I will not let anyone tell me otherwise. To love yourself and others is truly peace. To love yourself like this is the white noise that eases a lifetime of fireworks and sirens to a newborn ear. Like a newborn I am a clean slate with a new name and a new world waiting for me, but I get to be wiser with seventeen years of perspective from a girl who has pushed me along, and while she is gone she will never be a stranger.
