Hey there.

I want to share something close to my heart. My music often explores the poignant moments of my life, embracing the raw emotions that define them. Each song is a chapter, woven with recordings from voicemails and snippets that together form a larger, more intimate story. I invite you to listen with an open heart and mind, as you glimpse into the pages of my life.

Love always, Kyrin.

About each song.

    "i don't wanna be depressed anymore" captures a pivotal moment in my life when I felt adrift and disconnected. The song originated from a voice recording made during a period of isolation, a time when I was grappling with the aftermath of COVID-19 and significant life changes.

    Moving to Florida marked a new chapter, but it also meant leaving behind familiar faces. The decision to cut ties stemmed from a deep-seated dissatisfaction with my circumstances and myself. The pandemic further disrupted my plans, including missing out on the traditional graduation experience, a moment I had eagerly anticipated as the first in my family to earn a degree.

    Navigating adulthood with my partner, both of us fresh graduates working at Outback Steakhouse, was daunting. We found ourselves questioning our paths and struggling to reconcile our ambitions with our current realities. This strain took a toll on our relationship, eventually leading us to part ways.

    Through "i don't wanna be depressed anymore," I aim to convey the complexity of my emotions during this tumultuous time. I want listeners to feel like silent observers, witnessing the highs and lows of my journey as if they were a wallflower in my life.

    "i'll never die" is a song inspired by my first drum circle experience, which happened after a breakup. I had just moved out of the apartment I shared with my boyfriend and into my older sister's house. This was a time of making new friends, exploring new scenes like drum circles, and reflecting on life.

    Even though I've only been to one drum circle, the memory stuck with me. The song includes voice recordings of me and a friend talking about how artists are often seen as troubled, which I relate to because I've been in therapy for a long time.

    In the song, I talk about wanting to be remembered through my art, even after I'm gone. I think about the idea that people die twice: once when they pass away, and again when they're no longer remembered. I want my art to live on so that I'll never truly die.

Back in 2022 I started being more intentional with how I documented my life. Throughout these past few years I have created a playlist for each year.

Each playlist is extremely sentimental to me because they have each gotten me through many hardships and have inspired me in how I create a lot of my art and my music.

If you listen to any of them, I hope you find a song you really like and feel a little piece of myself in the song too (no homo). But anyways, ya, ily & enjoy.

Stop & stay for a little while.

I have created visuals throughout the website so you can zone out and listen to music while having something to look at while you’re listening. I was trying to give off those old crazy iTunes visuals that my 90s folks will understand. Hope you enjoy, lots of love to ya! <3
