Outcry - out now
Outcry (Released January 2, 2025) is an evocative and deeply personal EP that explores the turbulent spectrum of heartbreak, betrayal, and the primal need to be understood. This conceptual project takes listeners on a journey from emotional chaos to catharsis, weaving a story of pain, resilience, and rebirth through its five thoughtfully crafted tracks. At its heart is the idea of facing inner turmoil and emerging stronger—a journey that listeners will find both intimate and universal.
The Call: The EP opens with the raw, haunting strains of "The Call," a song that plunges into the suffocating depths of feeling unheard and unseen. It evokes the image of Icarus flying too close to the sun, not out of ambition but out of a painful gravitation toward what causes the most harm. This track captures the paralyzing moment of realizing you are trapped, spiraling downward with no clear way out.
To the Sun: This song holds a special place in this journey. Written 3-4 years ago, it was the song that inspired the entirety of Outcry and set the emotional tone for what would follow. This dual-perspective track juxtaposes the voice of someone reaching out—pleading to be a guiding light for a struggling friend or lover—with the inner monologue of the person shutting them out. The rap verses delve into the loneliness and mistrust of someone sinking deeper into depression, while the soaring, heartfelt chorus embodies hope and the unyielding desire to help. The interplay of these perspectives creates an emotionally charged tension that underscores the complexity of human connection.
The Fire: Marking the album’s turning point, "The Fire" ignites with defiance and clarity. This is the moment of realization—where the protagonist finally sees the manipulation and betrayal for what it truly is. The emotional struggle turns into a burning resolve to break free, to destroy the bridges that tether them to pain. This song is a cathartic release of anger and grief, a declaration of self-preservation and strength. It delivers the powerful message: "If you start a war with me, you will lose everything because I now see your truth, and I refuse to be a part of it."
Work: In the wake of this emotional reckoning, "Work" captures the unhealthy coping mechanisms that often follow trauma. Instead of confronting pain, the protagonist buries themselves in distractions—work, obligations, anything to avoid the overwhelming tide of emotion.
Phoenix: The EP concludes with a triumphant and transformative anthem. "Phoenix" symbolizes the final stage of growth, where the protagonist confronts their inner demons and allows themselves to heal. Like Icarus falling to Earth, they crash but rise again—not as the same person, but as something stronger and truer. Burning away the past, they emerge from the ashes with newfound clarity and purpose. This song is a celebration of resilience, a powerful reminder that even the deepest wounds can lead to transformation.
Website AD
This quick ad marks a significant achievement for me, representing my first-ever self-promotion ad created to generate buzz for the launch of my website. Delivered on Instagram TV, social stories, and TikTok, it was strategically designed to captivate audiences on these popular platforms.
The ad's dimensions were carefully selected to optimize viewing on Instagram stories and TikTok, aiming to attract a larger following. By focusing on these platforms, which boast high user engagement rates according to analytics, I maximized the potential for interaction and outreach.
York 101 News
York 101 News is a web series that I conceptualized and organized for York University, designed to assist first-year students in transitioning from high school to university life. The series aimed to provide insights into the workings of York University and guide students through this important phase of their academic journey.
This project was particularly enjoyable for me as it was born out of my original idea. Witnessing my vision come to fruition was incredibly rewarding, especially knowing that it benefited many individuals who had questions about university life. I was more than happy to offer assistance and support to those in need, making this project both fulfilling and meaningful.

BondFire: Elemental
Working on BondFire's production "Elemental" was an incredible experience. In addition to my roles as an Actor, Creator, and Devisor, I also took on the responsibility of Head of Media and Promotions, while also contributing significantly to the Lighting Design for the show.
Together with the talented team at BondFire, we embarked on the ambitious task of creating an online theatrical performance that would allow audiences to experience the magic of theatre even during the challenges of a pandemic. "Elemental" premiered at the online Devised Theatre Festival of 2021 and was met with resounding success.
"Elemental" tells the story of six sisters, each representing a different element of the universe: Water, Fire, Earth, Air, Aurora, and Spirit. When Air spreads a deadly disease across the earth, the sisters must unite and devise a plan to help humanity. However, as with any plan, things take unexpected turns and veer off course, leading to a gripping and poignant narrative.
I also managed the show's Instagram account, with creative input from Cassie Weir, to engage with our audience and share the captivating essence of "Elemental" with the world.
