Possibility is rooted in mental health, reflection, positivity and soul. It was the first project where I fully brought my voice, thoughts and ideas into focus. Released during a moment of uncertainty and upheaval, the record asks a question that still feels urgent: what does it mean to believe in the possibility of a better future?

This work also stands within a musical lineage larger than me. The soul tradition—and the Black artists whose talent, creativity and courage shaped it—deeply influenced how I write and what I hope these songs can offer.
