Thank you to Byron | Detroit, MI Photographer for this incredible shot at Breakaway Michigan . Thank you to the incredible staff and everyone who came out!! 🫶🏾🖤

As a blunt brown goth woman who plays dark industrial techno in MAGA territory, I have always faced a lot of obstacles in my path that have to do with prejudice, but I’ve always pushed forward, because of the importance of expression.

I’ve been working my ass off on creating my sound as an artist and without caring about what others think. It’s scary being authentic and vulnerable, but people need your voice.

I appreciate all the wonderful feedback and support from all of my beautiful humans. There were several moments I caught myself near tears from the kindness I received.

May this be proof to anyone to be relentless and empowered to always think for yourself in a world designed for complacency 🔥🖤⚔️

Oh hey! 🖤 Just wanted to let you all know I’ll be playing Saturday at 4:30 PM at Breakaway Michigan in the Silent Disco.

I know a lot of you have been rooting for me, and I can’t thank you enough for all the support you’ve shown. If you’re at the festival, I would absolutely love to see your faces out there.

The last year has brought more than a few unexpected challenges in my personal life, and I’ve poured every bit of that emotion into this set.

No compromises. No people-pleasing. Just the sound that made me fall in love with underground techno. Beyond excited to represent Grand Rapids’ underground.

Let’s make it a memorable one. Come lose yourself with me. 🤘🏾🖤
