From a Creative Vision to Cannes, Two International Nominations for My Debut Album

Nine days. Fourteen songs. Two Cannes nominations.

When I released my debut album, After the Vows: Love, No Love, worldwide on October 16, 2026, I hoped the music would find its way to people who could recognize a piece of their own lives in its stories.

Nine days later, I received news I hadn't imagined arriving quite so soon. 

Both the album and one of its defining songs, What Did We Trade It For?, have been named official…

Before there is a melody, there is an idea. Before there is a song, there is a story. And before technology enters the picture, there is human imagination

Since the worldwide release of my debut album, After the Vows: Love, No Love, I've been reflecting on an interesting question:

Every creation begins with an idea. Some ideas become stories. Others become music. This one became an album.

Today, Oct 16, 2026 marks a very special milestone in my creative journey as I officially introduce my debut album, After the Vows: Love, No Love, released worldwide on major digital music and streaming platforms.

Fourteen tracks. One emotional journey. Countless moments of reflection, imagination, and creative exploration.

This album is more than a collection of songs. It is a musical narrative…
