Shoegaze has always felt like a dream you can step into, all haze, distortion, and emotion bleeding into each other. I fell in love with that sound the first time I heard Wisp, the feeling of losing yourself inside layers of quiet vocals and distorted guitar. I discovered Shoegaze because Gen Z is reinventing it for a digital world. We’re not just recreating the classics; we’re reshaping them with laptops, plugins, and bringing it back alive.

In my latest playlist, “Echo Chamber,” I’ve hand-picked tracks that have influenced my music and defined the genre. It features my own atmospheric originals, alongside the artists who continue to inspire me: Midrift, Trauma Ray, Whirr, Glare, Wisp, and more.

Hey, Lazulis, As an artist weaving my own path, I’m always listening, learning, and absorbing. These days, I’ve been especially drawn to three musicians, my current favorites, whose work excites me, inspires me, and pushes me into new creative territory. So here they are, in no particular order: Wisp, Glare, and Whirr.

After an inspiring chapter at Berklee, I’m finally back home...and honestly, it’s been non-stop since I returned. I had just one week to unpack, deep-clean the house, finish projects, and get ready for a new school semester. At first, it felt overwhelming, that liminal space between chapters of life. But instead of rushing, I turned it into a reset week to decompress and organize. Each day had a plan: tidying my space, reestablishing routines, and taking care of myself.

In this latest “Camcorder Diaries” vlog, I capture the raw, spontaneous moments of the new year, fireworks lighting up the sky, late Secret Santa surprises, and the coming together of friends. From blurry laughter to sparkly little moments, it’s a mixtape of memory, joy, and everything in between.

I spent time in Florida with my college counselor before traveling to a small community in Nicaragua, where I taught children the fundamentals of music theory while simultaneously practicing my Spanish. I helped children understand basic rhythms, turning music into something accessible to all. Watching their eyes light up as they clapped along or created their first melody reminded me why I fell in love with music in the first place.

In this final vlog (but not the final time I'll be at Berklee) I take you through finals, performances, and goodbyes, capturing the intensity and thrill of wrapping up a transformative program. Between classes and creative projects, I also share fun moments like shopping and exploring, reminding myself (and you too!) that college life is about balance, growth, and making memories along the way.

From hands-on guitar sessions and collaborative music projects to exploring the vibrant campus atmosphere, these weeks are all about stepping fully into the life of a young artist. Beyond the music, I love capturing the joy of everyday college life, from navigating campus spaces to connecting with new friends, highlighting how each moment, big or small, contributes to growth both on and off stage.

In this video, I take you through music theory sessions, stroll the streets of Newbury, open mic performances, and enjoy quiet moments at the library. It’s a mix of learning, exploring, and discovering what makes Berklee so special. I love sharing how I navigate my studies and campus life, balancing fun activities like exploring Boston with practicing and homework. Every chord I play and every path I walk reflects my growth as an artist and a student.

Every journey starts with a single step, and Week 1 of my first time as a Berklee Aspire Program student in 2024 was the perfect introduction to my musical adventure. From guitar practice to exploring the vibrant campus, attending live concerts, meeting new people, and even squeezing in some shopping and fun outings, this first vlog captures the energy, excitement, and discovery of stepping into a new chapter.

In my “College Life | Berklee Aspire Vlog,” I share a glimpse of that moment, the early notes of a dream unfolding. Filmed during my time as a second year Berklee Aspire student, this vlog captures the mundane yet fascinating classroom activities and community that make Berklee College of Music such an inspiring place for young artists. From rehearsals, jam sessions, college audition processes, and candid behind-the-scenes moments, you’ll see how music can grow from passion i

I believe that every coming-of-age story deserves its soundtrack, and my Sweet Sixteen Concert was exactly that: a night to come together and celebrate music and life. I performed a mix of my original songs and covers of some of my favorites, including Arctic Monkeys, Chappell Roan, Nirvana, and more. My originals, indie rock, new and unreleased at that time, were shells of what they were to grow to be later. And the covers? They were my personal reinterpretations and

Let the rhythms speak and play their own melody. In my no-talking ASMR camera tapping video, I blend soft scratching around the textures of my phone case, fingertips across the lens, and gentle hand sounds to create a soothing sensory experience. As a musician, I approach ASMR the same way I approach music. My sense of timing and texture turns these simple sounds into a performance. Each tap and scratch forms a calming rhythm that eases the mind and melts tension away.

Sometimes the most calm and tingliest places are a part of our everyday lives, such as a car. In my no talking ASMR video, you’ll hear the subtle echo inside the car, the rhythm of fingertips meeting the lens, and the soft hum of stillness between each touch. My intuitive sense of timing turns simple camera taps into an almost meditative beat, where each sound is layered like notes in a composition.

If you’re searching for the ultimate relaxing ASMR experience, this one’s for you. In my video, I invite you into a world where sound becomes pure sensation. After a short, gentle intro, the textures take over. From soft mic tapping to slow scratching, every movement creates a soothing rhythm designed to quiet the mind and ease tension. It’s the kind of ASMR made for sleep, stress relief, and moments when you just want to drift into calm while focusing on subtle, satis
