This spanned from poems and stories as a child, to classically inspired piano pieces as a teenager, and finally songwriting on guitar in her early 20s. Loath to ever describe herself as or pursue the career of a musician, Anicia obtained a degree and forged a career in law: it was more stable than music, and to be honest, she had always wondered whether she was even very good at music anyway. Whil
e pursuing her professional career, Anicia continued to write songs. She even played her originals at songwriters’ nights, fighting against what could be best described as just shy of a crippling level of self-doubt. Right as she had begun to make subdued strides in her musical journey, Anicia’s best friend and mother died within three years of each other. These events caused a downward spiral for Anicia and her music went quiet in the ambient grief. In 2021, Anicia picked up her guitar and played some of her songs for established producer, jayteehazard, who she has known for many years. jayteehazard quickly teamed up with Anicia to produce ‘Florence’, Anicia’s debut single. This sparked a collaboration, and a flurry of songwriting from Anicia. After a sputtering trajectory, Anicia finally has a collection of darkly lyrical folk-inspired songs that she is proud of and ready to release.
