One random personal thing I gonna share today that a ton of people would have never guessed about me:

Took me almost two decades to somewhat make peace with my own voice, and I’m still not fully there yet. I’m insanely self-conscious about this. 

Growing up in a patriarchal country with a low unfeminine voice is fun. Growing up with Disney princesses singing my favorite tunes that I would never be able to sing even if I were a pro performer is fun.

Give me a dramatic mezzo princess or a contralto (scandalous!). The truth is you have to be a phenomenal contralto artist to get the same amount of love and recognition as an average soprano. And don’t even get me started on the accent that aren’t universally considered “hot” - that’s a whole other topic.

No moral here - just observations

When I was growing up I was the only ‘boy’ to join the elementary choir, in a patriarchal society that wants its ‘boys’ and men to be extremely masculine: even as a boy I wasn’t afraid to ‘sing like a girl’ 🤭

I had the inverse experience 😌
