Hey East Portland Blog,
This one is personal.
My life was turned upside down and, as a result, this song emerged.
“Secret” became therapeutic. It gave me a chance to connect with people, with my fans whose parents also split up due to infidelity. It became a way of reaffirming for myself and others – “You are not the only one going through this.”
At first, I was hesitant to write about such a personal story. But as the lyrics started to unfold, everything fell into place. I recorded “Secret” in a dimly lit vocal booth. I wanted to be in a headspace where I could feel alone with myself, and deliver the lyrics from the most honest place that I possibly could.
I’m currently working on a new EP that is forecasted to be released later this year.
I’m very excited to get this music out and tour again. This record is going to be much more raw, and I want to put all my emotions on the table. “Secret” gave me the courage to do that.
Thank you for listening.
DYLYN
