My Journey as FOXOWL

 

really began in 2020, when I rediscovered song lyrics I had written back in high school. At the time, I wasn’t chasing a career or a spotlight—I was just making music for the sake of expression and survival. Writing had always been a way for me to process emotions I didn’t yet have language for, and revisiting those lyrics reminded me that music had been quietly waiting for me the whole time.

What started as experimentation quickly turned into something more intentional. Through trial and error, encouragement from friends, and a lot of self-discovery, I realized that this wasn’t just a hobby—it was a calling. I began refining my sound, leaning into EDM as a space where vulnerability and energy could coexist, and where deeply personal stories could still live on a dance floor.

Alongside my music, I’ve grown into an activist and social media creator, using my voice to advocate for the neurodivergent community and mental health awareness. I share my own healing journey openly—both the breakthroughs and the hard days—because representation and honesty matter. For me, music and advocacy are inseparable; they’re both about connection, visibility, and reminding people they’re not alone.

As FOXOWL continues to evolve, my goal is to get into rooms where I can help—whether that’s writing toplines and lyrics for headliner EDM DJs and producers, collaborating across genres, or contributing to projects that center emotional truth. I want to create music that moves people physically and emotionally, and to be part of an industry that leaves space for empathy, difference, and real stories.

At its core, FOXOWL is about turning lived experience into sound—and using that sound to build something meaningful, both on and off the stage.

Struggles, Growth, and Resilience 

​

Choosing to live openly and authentically hasn’t always been easy. Along the way, I’ve lost some very close friendships—not out of conflict, but because growth can be uncomfortable, and not everyone is ready to face it. Walking my own path sometimes meant outgrowing relationships I once thought would last forever, which was painful and, at times, isolating.

Sharing my truth online has also come with its challenges. The internet can be a harsh place, and criticism or unkind comments are part of putting yourself out there. Over time, I’ve learned not to internalize that negativity, understanding that it often says more about where someone else is than about who I am. That realization has been grounding and freeing.

There have been moments of loneliness, doubt, and emotional exhaustion—but those moments have shaped me. They’ve strengthened my sense of self, deepened my compassion, and clarified why I do this in the first place. Choosing authenticity, creativity, and purpose over comfort has made me more resilient, more focused, and more committed to using my voice—both in music and beyond—in a way that truly matters.

The Work Behind FOXOWL

​

My work lives at the intersection of music, storytelling, and perspective. As FOXOWL, I specialize in writing emotionally driven EDM lyrics and toplines that balance vulnerability with momentum—music that’s meant to be felt just as much as it’s meant to move people. I’m especially drawn to themes of healing, self-awareness, and transformation, both in my songs and in the content I share online.

Beyond the music itself, I’m known for how I communicate. In my videos, I often begin by holding a monocle up to my eye—not as a gimmick, and not as a reference to Monopoly, but as a symbol. It represents a shift in perspective: zooming out, reframing a situation, and realizing that things are often not as overwhelming as they initially appear. I remove it once I start speaking, because the point isn’t to hide behind it—it’s to invite people to see differently.

What I’m most proud of is my consistency and courage. As of 2026, this marks my six-year anniversary of putting myself out there creatively and publicly, and I have no intention of stopping. Continuing through doubt, criticism, and uncertainty has been a quiet but powerful achievement for me.

I’m also deeply proud of how I’ve learned music. Through autism and strong pattern recognition, I’ve largely taught myself music theory in a nontraditional way. I may not always use formal terminology, but I understand the structure, the process, and the “why” behind what works. That intuitive, systems-based approach shapes how I write and collaborate, and it allows me to bring something different into creative rooms.

What sets me apart is that I don’t separate art from honesty. I lead with curiosity, resilience, and perspective—and whether through music, conversation, or collaboration, my goal is always the same: to help people feel seen, grounded, and capable of more than they think.

Healing as a Creative Foundation

​

One of the most impactful resources in my life has been Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. I was introduced to IFS in 2020, when I made the decision to seek support and start doing deeper inner work. That choice became a turning point—not just for my mental health, but for how I understand myself, my creativity, and my relationships.

IFS is a therapeutic framework that views the mind as made up of different “parts,” each with its own role, emotions, and intentions. Rather than seeing these parts as problems to fix, IFS teaches that every part exists to protect us in some way—even the ones that feel difficult or self-sabotaging. The goal is to build a compassionate relationship with those parts, led by a calm, grounded core self, which allows for healing instead of inner conflict. That perspective has fundamentally changed how I move through life.

The book that’s had the biggest influence on me is No Bad Parts by Richard C. Schwartz, the creator of IFS. It’s been genuinely life-changing. The idea that there are no “bad” parts—only parts that learned extreme roles to survive—gave me language, compassion, and patience for myself that I didn’t have before.

That work has shaped not only my personal healing, but also how I write music, tell stories, and show up publicly. It’s helped me lead with curiosity instead of judgment, and that mindset influences everything I do—both creatively and in everyday life.
