Writing
IFP Silver Rock Track Award 2025(My Original Lyrics)
Poetry is an occasional interest of mine. I write whenever the intent to write feels natural. Poetry & songwriting are occasional interests of mine. I write whenever the intent to write feels natural.
My interest in poetry paired with my music knowledge helps me excel at songwriting too. I like experimenting with different rhyming schemes and creative metaphors. I would also like to explore short story writing and script writing in the future.
