    New profile pic!

    Maybe you have already seen that I shared a brand new picture :D it is also in my about section and of course in the gallery.

    3 4 3 - Happy Birthday 3!!!

    On this day in 2019 I released '3' - the first LP and sample library release on SA Recordings! 3 is a collection of twelve almost completely acapella songs exploring relationships, empowerment, motherhood and the patriarchy.⁠

    Find the EP here: orcd.co/343alevlenz
