Light in the Dark came from a time when I was learning to be honest with myself before I was ready to be seen by anyone else.
These songs were written in the quiet space between fear and acceptance... when questions about identity, worth, belonging and self-expression felt louder than answers. Music became a place to say the things I couldn’t yet say out loud. The lyrics carry uncertainty, longing, and introspection, but also a quiet reaching. Toward self-acceptance, toward connection, toward light.
Sonically, the EP sits in contrast. Dreamlike textures, soft synths and layered harmonies wrap around lyrics that often sit in darker emotional territory. That duality wasn’t intentional at first, it was instinctive. Even in difficult moments, I was searching for beauty, for calm, for something that felt like relief. The production became a kind of emotional cushion, holding the vulnerability rather than dramatising it.
Looking back, this project feels like an opening. Not a bold declaration, but a gentle step forward. The moment I stopped waiting to feel “ready” and allowed myself to begin. It marks the point where music shifted from private processing to shared expression.
This EP doesn’t resolve the questions it holds. It simply shines a small light into them, and trusts that might be enough for someone else to find their way too.
