Hey everybody! 

I have some exciting news to share with you. After some unexpected twists and turns, my album The Mask of Smile, originally released on October 13th, 2023, is making its way back to streaming platforms!

For those who don’t know, The Mask of Smile was removed from major platforms like Spotify and Apple Music on September 16th, 2024. That moment was tough, I felt like a piece of my journey was taken away. But I’ve always believed in fighting for what you love, and that’s exactly what I did. After months of hard work behind the scenes, I’m thrilled to announce that the album will be re-released, louder and stronger than ever.

This version of The Mask of Smile includes the explicit versions of Crisis, On Edge, and The Escape. These tracks are some of the most personal and powerful on the album. They pull no punches, offering raw emotion and unfiltered truth. I wanted you to feel every lyric, every beat, just as I felt them when creating these songs.

But that’s not all. One of my favorite tracks, Burning Bridges, has been completely remastered. The new version captures the intensity and emotion of the original but elevates it with a richer, fuller sound. If you loved the first version, you’re in for a treat it’s better than ever.

This re-release isn’t just about music; it’s about redemption and resilience. The Mask of Smile is more than an album. It’s a reflection of my journey, my struggles, and my victories. From heartbreak to healing, every track tells a story. And now, that story gets to live on, uncensored and remastered, for everyone to hear. Bringing it back means the world to me because it’s not just music; it’s a piece of my soul.

But that’s not all, there’s more exciting news! I’m currently working on a brand-new EP that will also release this year. While there’s no official date yet, I can share that four songs are already complete, and I’m finishing up the last three tracks. This EP is shaping up to be something special, and I can’t wait for you to hear it when the time is right.

To everyone who has supported me during this journey; thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your messages, encouragement, and belief in me have kept me going. I’m so grateful to have such an incredible community of fans, friends, and family.

So get ready to dive back into The Mask of Smile. The album is returning, and this time, it’s more powerful than ever. And stay tuned for updates on the upcoming EP. I promise it’ll be worth the wait.
