I’m WINDOW, a Black, queer, indie singer-songwriter and multidisciplinary artist. I grew up with a global perspective, which shaped how I approach art—mixing storytelling, visual art, and music to create immersive experiences. I create music that blends Indie Rock, Folk, Americana, and R&B, with deeply vulnerable lyrics that speak to themes of love, identity, healing, and transformation.

My work extends beyond music—I’m also an author, creative director, and co-curator of Black Lesbian Bedtime Stories, an anthology celebrating Black lesbian love and resilience. I integrate mixed-media storytelling into my music videos and performances, building worlds that invite audiences into spaces of authenticity, connection, and community.

I’ve faced many challenges on my journey, but those struggles have only deepened my commitment to creating art that uplifts others—especially marginalized communities. Through my work, I aim to create experiences that are not only emotionally profound but also serve as a platform for voices that are often overlooked.

I didn’t grow up with my dad, but he’s told me the story of how, when I was little, he would sing to me all night in the ICU. That was probably the most I ever heard his voice growing up. That moment—of him singing to me when I was vulnerable—sticks with me deeply. I think that was when I first connected with music, and it’s always stayed with me as a form of healing. Music has always been medicine for me, a way to process pain, celebrate joy, and feel deeply.

Honestly, I truly feel like I was put on this earth to make music. It’s something I’ve always known in my soul—an undeniable calling. Music has been my constant companion through all the highs and lows, and I believe it’s my purpose to share that with others. Whether through songwriting or performance, it’s how I connect with the world and how I give back to others who need it.

The story behind my artist name is pretty simple, yet it carries a lot of meaning for me. My name is Window, and I’m here to let the light in. Life has a way of slamming doors in your face, but I’ve never been the type to give up. Whenever a door closes, I don’t stay stuck. I look for a window, a new way in, a new opportunity to shine. For me, the name is a reminder that no matter how many obstacles I face, there’s always a way to keep going, to stay open, and to find a way forward. It’s about being resilient, adaptable, and constantly seeking the light—even in the darkest of times. That’s what I want my art to do: open the windows of possibility for myself and for others.

That’s a really good question! Some of my biggest musical influences are Imogen Heap, Lenny Kravitz, Lil Dicky, Darius Rucker, Solange, Hemelocke Springs, and Tyler, the Creator. Each of these artists has shaped my approach to music in different ways. Imogen Heap inspired me with her genre-blending, experimental approach to sound and her ability to tell deeply emotional stories through both music and technology. Lenny Kravitz, with his rock-infused soul, showed me how to fuse genres while staying true to my roots. Lil Dicky’s wit and humor reminded me not to take myself too seriously and to infuse personality into my music. Darius Rucker taught me the power of authenticity and vulnerability, especially in country and Americana, while Solange has been a beacon for artistic freedom and self-expression—teaching me to boldly step into my own identity without compromise. Hemelocke Springs and Tyler, the Creator both encourage me to be unafraid of experimenting with sound and mixing genres, creating something that feels uniquely me. Together, they’ve taught me that music is about pushing boundaries, breaking norms, and embracing who I am, and it’s this influence that drives my desire to create art that feels raw, experimental, and authentic.

There was definitely a specific moment when I knew I wanted to pursue music seriously. I was in a band and met the lead singer at an open mic. Now, to be honest, he couldn’t sing at all—vocally, he was pretty tone-deaf. But his arrangements and piano skills were on point, so he hired me as a backup singer. I started thinking, What if we write songs together, and I sing lead? After all, my voice was my instrument, and it was clear his vocals weren’t up to par. However, his ego got in the way. He tried to gatekeep a well-known artist from meeting me when our band was opening for them, and on top of that, he was flirting with me, saying he was in an open relationship. When I flirted back, he pretended not to know what I was talking about. It was a whole mess. He was being an ass, and I realized I didn’t need him to make music. I could do this on my own. That realization clicked in me, and I immediately wrote one of the best songs I’d ever written. That was the moment I knew—this was my path, and I didn’t need anyone else’s approval or ego to make music that was true to me. It was time to take my artistry into my own hands.

Something I wish more people understood about being an up-and-coming artist is that nobody makes it alone. It’s often about who you know, not just what you know, and building those connections is just as important as honing your craft. But also, what’s meant for you can’t miss you—timing and persistence are everything.

Another thing I wish people realized is that algorithms are designed to work against us. The social media game isn’t always a fair reflection of your talent or hard work. So, if things aren’t hitting or your content isn’t getting the engagement you expect, it doesn’t mean you should stop trying. It just means it’s time to get creative and find new ways to get your work out there.

It’s a tough road—there are days when it feels overwhelming and discouraging. But you’ve got to keep pushing, stay true to your vision, and trust that what’s meant for you will find its way. It’s a grind, but that’s part of the process.

With my music, I hope to leave a message of authenticity, resilience, and connection. I want people to feel seen, heard, and understood, especially those who often go overlooked or misunderstood. My music is about creating spaces where people can embrace their full selves, flaws and all, and recognize that their stories matter. I want to inspire others to keep going, even when things get tough, and remind them that healing, transformation, and growth are possible—even in the most challenging circumstances.

I hope my music helps people feel less alone in their struggles and more empowered to embrace their journey, whatever that may look like. Ultimately, I want my art to create a ripple effect of self-acceptance, love, and solidarity, where we can all come together to celebrate who we are and what we’ve overcome.

Right now, I’m working on the most ambitious project of my career—my upcoming album, POSTCARD MEMORIES, dropping June 21, 2025. This isn’t just an album; it’s a full multimedia experience that blends music, visual art, immersive storytelling, and live performance in a way that I’ve never done before.

At its core, POSTCARD MEMORIES is about healing, transformation, and the journey of finding yourself after everything falls apart. The music is genre-fluid, pulling from Indie Rock, Folk, Americana, and R&B, creating a sonic landscape that feels both intimate and cinematic. The visuals will be just as powerful—I’m curating a series of music videos, art installations, and performances that bring the album’s world to life.

This project is so big that I’ve applied for multiple grants to fund elements like immersive live events, video production, and mixed-media storytelling. I’m collaborating with incredible artists across different disciplines to push the boundaries of what an album release can be.
