NOTES FROM CALLER 8TEEN

"Dream Team" is my 2nd single, written, produced and performed by me and my real-life brother! 

Me and my brother have been making music together since high school. My brother is the reason I started recording music. As a little sister I was lucky to get to watch my brother write raps in his notebook and turn our basement into a fully functioning recording studio. My brother showed me what was possible and how I could turn my love for music into creating professional songs that I get to share with the world. By seeing his curiosity combined with his work ethic and talent, my brother showed me that I didn’t have to wait for anyone to start making the music that I loved. “Dream Team” captures what it means to chase a dream side by side, through basement sessions, self-doubt, and breakthrough moments.

Our song, “Dream Team” is a soulful, cinematic hip-hop/R&B fusion that celebrates teamwork, perseverance, and purpose.With textured production and heartfelt verses, “Dream Team” blends introspective lyricism with an inspiring energy that builds toward a shared vision of hope and elevation. It’s about more than just ambition. It’s about connection, growth, and the power of believing in something together. 

 I humbly share with you my first official single, Cheesy.

On the surface, "Cheesy" is playful and full of fun wordplay, using different cheese references as metaphors. But beneath that lighthearted vibe, the song captures something a bit deeper. It’s about being strung along in a relationship, feeling undervalued, and wrestling with vulnerability.

I wrote this song to show how love can sometimes feel like you’re being “sliced up,” or treated like a snack instead of something meaningful. At the same time, the repetition of “I guess I must be cheesy” reflects both self-awareness and resilience. It’s about owning your feelings, even when someone else doesn’t take them seriously.

Ultimately, “Cheesy” is a mix of humor and heartbreak. It’s playful, yes, but also a reminder that even the silliest metaphors can carry real emotional weight.
