Embarrassing? Absolutely. Important? Without a doubt. Let me tell you the story behind the very first song I ever wrote. I was calling myself "CHONiS" and still figuring out who I was as an artist — honestly, as a person too — and that song was a wild mix of emotion, awkward wording, and me trying way too hard to sound deep. Looking back, it makes me cringe a little… okay, a lot. But it also marks the moment I stopped dreaming about making music and actually started doing it. That messy, heartfelt track was the beginning of everything that came after. I’m not dropping the link here — trust me, it’s rough — but if you’re genuinely curious (and brave), reply to this email and I’ll send it your way.
