Music
Music has always been a driving force in my creative life — from raw punk shows in the Lower East Side to cinematic rock performances across Brooklyn. Each project represents a different chapter of sound, collaboration, and rebellion.

Gameplay: villainavivre
(ft. Sirius Toro)
A collaborative project between Sirius Toro and Sequoia Byrnes, Gameplay, "villainavivre" combines music and visual storytelling into a single experimental piece. The song is paired with a self-directed video that explores emotion, chaos, and connection through vivid cinematic imagery. The work stands as both a sonic and visual dialogue between two artists.
