  • Description

    All of these songs are about my experience of the pandemic while living in New York City - I had never written lyrics or sung on an album before - But I was thinking about certain incidents every day, and for two of the songs, the lyrics came to me with the melodies like an emotional release.

    The woman with a purple wig is me. To protect myself from the violence against Asian women, I had to hide my identity, wearing a wig, mask, and sunglasses. In the beginning, I was filled with fear. Writing this song helped me to regain my emotional balance.
