Three years after the release of our debut EP, I am thrilled to share with you my latest body of work with fajjr+ali, Insecurities.

The alt-pop sound draws inspiration from Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande and Raleigh Ritchie and covers the perils of social media, social anxiety, mental health and toxic relationships.
