Forgotten Youth In Dusted Frames

Behind The Album

I wrote the songs for this album throughout 2023 - 2024. I’ve always been a product of pop punk, alternative rock, and pop rock music. Ever since I can remember I've always been drawn to the energy and community feeling that rock music has. It’s truly the type of music that moved me in such a way that I felt absolutely euphoric when I listened to it. Whether it was the energy of the music, or the way I connected to the lyrics, it’s truly the one thing I found that made me feel fully alive. The type of euphoric feeling I get when I hear rock music (especially see it live) is the reason why I started making music. The venue goes dark, the crowd start’s cheering, then you hear and feel the vibrations of music start playing from your favorite artist. You get a rush of serotonin that everyone around you feels and suddenly you realize everyone is there for a reason. For the same reason you are, to feel alive.
 
The music I listen to truly defines who I am, which is why I named each song on this album after an artist. Every song on this album is dedicated to an artist that changed my life growing up and  every song has a reference to an album by the artist. These artists are truly special to me, so I wanted to show my respects to them in a different way than just saying thank you. I also thought it would be a cool way to give you a new artist to listen to when you hear each song. Thank you to all of these artists for helping shape who I am.
 
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for holding this album in your hands and reading what I have to say. I would be nothing without you caring about my art and listening to my music. Thank you for supporting my dream.
