THE VAULT

This is where it all lives—my early work, personal projects, experiments, and creative moments that helped shape the artist I am today. From old music videos and short films to unreleased content, performance clips, and one-off pieces that never made it into a portfolio, The Vault is a curated archive of my journey through music, film, and digital media.

Some of it’s polished. Some of it’s raw. All of it tells a story.

Dive in and explore the process behind the progress.
