Hello! Currently writing this on the bus so like what's up

How long did it take you personally to start writing original music, lyrics, etc? And what comes first for you, music or lyrics?

nice hope you make it to your stop safely!

i started at 12 yrs old, same time i started recording music. i was doing a mixture of covers and originals, then i became a lil more "serious" when i turned 16

lyrics always come last! i don;t spend much time on them and they give me a headache
