In the heart of Dublin, Ireland, where the city's age-old streets echo with the melodies of both traditional ballads and contemporary beats, resides an emerging talent poised to leave an indelible mark on the world of music. Hailing from the vibrant shores of Sri Lanka, this aspiring singer/songwriter brings the rich tapestry of her heritage and the depth of her personal journey to the forefront of her artistry.
Drawing from a well of experiences that span across cultures and continents, her lyrics unfold like soulful narratives, touching on themes of love, loss, resilience, and the quest for identity. Each word is carefully chosen, reflecting a wisdom and introspection far beyond her years, making her songs not just melodies but conversations with the soul.
Influenced by the likes of Erykah Badu, Cleo Sol, SZA, and Jorja Smith, she weaves her storytelling with a musical flow that is both unique and deeply reflective of her idols’ impact on her craft. Her voice, a melodic blend of strength and vulnerability, carries the weight of her lyrics with a grace that can only be described as captivating.
Despite the challenges of breaking into a highly competitive industry, especially far from her homeland, her resolve remains unshaken. Dublin, with its rich musical heritage and welcoming artistic community, has become a second home, a place where her talents can flourish. As she navigates this new chapter of her life, her ambition is not just to succeed but to inspire, to use her music as a bridge between cultures, and to remind us all of the power of sharing our stories.
Bitches broken heart - Billie Eilish
From the very first second of this song, I feel emotion. So flowery. So soothing yet so sad. It’s a mix that shouldn’t go well together I feel but she’s done it so well.
Never ending - Rihanna
I love her!!!! She’s amazing! Truly my biggest inspirations. This song is so deep. I love when songs are deep you know. Don’t know why when she says “I slipped into a parallel” it gets me
Four five seconds - Rihanna, Kanye West, Paul McCartney
The instrumental!!! The acoustic guitar. The simplicity speaks so much.Rihanna’s vocals in this song is amazing. It’s mesmerising. I LOVE. Kanye’s verse and his vulnerability. All I can say is thank you? I also love the fact that when you hear Rihanna’s name you can’t really think of one specific genre. It can really be anything. No box to put her in for me.

EMOTIONS!!! Top to bottom is emotion. So honest and vulnerable. Don’t know if you can tell by now I love vulnerability in music!!! A lot of what inspires me is honesty in music. I feel people can really put their feelings out through music and it makes the world a better place honestly.

This song is so cute! I love her voice. Her vibe her everything. I also really love the guitar in this song. This song for some reason has a hint of childlike wonder for me don’t know how to explain it other than that.
