Abstract
This project aims to establish my artistic identity as a singer-songwriter while documenting the creation of my first release, from conception to completion. It also explores how I navigate being a female artist with ADHD. Within this scope, I share the origins and inspirations behind seven of my compositions, detail how I developed their arrangements, and describe the recording process. Additionally, I reflect on the exploration of my visual identity and outline my plans for releasing the work. I address the fears and insecurities I faced at the start of this journey and explain how collaboration with other artists, musicians, engineers, and producers helped me overcome many of these challenges.
