art
Poetry and art go hand in hand; in fact, a poem is just art in the written form.
Rainbow Reflections
Artist Statement: The Spectrum of Us "Rainbow Reflections" is more than a song; it is a sonic and visual reclamation of the space between the binaries. In a world that often demands we choose a single "lane" or a "brittle script" of either/or, this project celebrates the "mixed genre" reality of the human soul.

Accidental Love
Dearest You, The One I fell in love with, While I was avoiding my feelings, people and any type of connections with anyone at all. Attempting to heal myself from a year of tragic heartache I didn't even want to acknowledge. I turned to you for a friend to lean on one I knew would be there even after all these years. What I didn't know was that I would end up falling in love with you. It was an accident though, it was the most unexpected thing I could have imagined. Though here we are all caught up and no explanation. Trust me, I didn't want my feelings to form, I was avoiding it, much like I avoid many things in life that are just too much for me to handle. I've always enjoyed our friendship, and I still do. Now every time I look at you, I want to kiss you. I know that I can handle a lot, but I pray that it's not too much for you. I can't take another heartbreak. Although I've fallen in love with you, I will be perfectly fine just being friends if that's what you want to do. Real feelings never leave, and if this feeling does leave, Then that alone will be heartbreak enough for me. In the midst of us laughing, and the long nights, where I'm too hype to focus, I found happiness. I found happiness because you didn't find a need to cut me off or shut me down. You found amusement in my chaos, and the laughter lights up your eyes sending my heart into repetitive flips of joy. I just WANT YOU to be in my life.

Ben James: The Raw Sound of Guyana’s Unfiltered Indie Voice
Ben James (Reuben Ally), a musician from Guyana, is not interested in perfection, he is committed to honesty. With a sound he describes as “messy,” his music prioritizes feeling over flawless production. In an era where over-polished tracks dominate, Ben’s approach is refreshingly unfiltered: he sings what he feels in the moment, letting raw emotion guide his art. “I hate spending hours on writing,” he admits. “If I can’t say what I want to say, I probably should just wait until I’m able to spit it out.”
