“I am so incredibly excited to finally release this album! I put everything I had into this record and it really shows every part of me as an artist, writer, producer and person. It didn't happen the way I originally thought it would since the pandemic hit right when I started working on it, but I couldn't be prouder of how it came out and I truly hope it resonates with people!” says Trahan. Trahan is an incredible multi-instrumentalist, but credits her father as her teacher. As a guitarist himself, he taught Trahan to play guitar at a young age.
