For a long time, I felt stolen. My face, my name, my body. I wrote and created my dream album/project, “CHILDSTAR,” as a means of processing those experiences. I am so proud of this body of work – I literally put all my tears into every word. A lot of people feel close to my story and nostalgic for my past. As much as I would like to honor that, it’s cathartic for me to proclaim truth and what is mine. I wanted to make a project that exercised all my passions: writing and producing, but also world building with fashion, color, and movement. Everything has been done with ultimate intention to carefully tell a story about girlhood, grief, identity, and control. I want this project to be the last time I ever speak on my past, so I figure I might as well go out with some honesty. Here you have it, “CHILDSTAR” coming April 4th. I truly, from the bottom of my heart, hope you enjoy. ☆G
The art of giving is in tandem with womanhood. Giving more than you have – secrets, smiles, fake laughs, adolescence, innocence, and just about everything you’re made of. I am a performer, my existence is giving: some performance was taught, some came from a real place of passion. Sometimes I don’t know when I’m performing and when the show is over. I think of this sentence I wrote in my journal a while back – “What’s a woman without her body? What’s a child star without a stage?” ☆

“I feel like my whole life has been haunted, by a child who never was.” . Thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the love and support. My 18 minute performance piece “CHILDSTAR: Final Act” is out alongside my album now ☆
Introducing Proud as the first scene from my upcoming longform performance piece, CHILDSTAR: Final Act. I co-choreographed and co-directed this very vulnerable performance piece with Luca Renzi to tell the story of proud through physical storytelling. It’s the desperate confusing inner battle between being controlled by the need validation and being controlled by what instilled that need. A child who is so special. Never cries. Never asks for anything. This first video is part of a 5 song, 18 minute performance piece that I have created for CHILDSTAR. Please please join me for the premiere a special curtain chat to hear all about my creative process as we celebrate the album going live. CHILDSTAR: Final Act Premiere — Apr 3 @ 8:30pm PT / 11:30pm ET on my Youtube channel. See you there ☆

Most of all thanks to all of you. this is such a close project to me and I really hope you enjoy it as much as I loved making it. Please tell me what you think and I love you so so much ☆G
