When I put my first song “Ant Mill” on streaming services back in 2023, something felt off. I figured the feeling would fade with each track I released. I have put out 11 songs since and the itch is still there.I would like to announce that I am officially changing my artist name and moving on from SPARROW. I am aware that this change will confuse a lot of you, and I am aware that this could absolutely be self-sabotage. But I’m willing to do it anyway if it means I’ll feel as close to my music as possible.My real first name is Arya. I’m sure a lot of you know that. It’s on the internet so it’s not exactly hard to find. And while I have referred to myself as Sparrow this whole time, I never hid the fact that it’s not my real name, so I think it’s kind of hilarious that a good number of my followers genuinely think my full legal name is just ‘SPARROW’ with no last name.Vexera is a word I coined a couple months ago while brainstorming. It is a portmanteau of the words ‘vex’ and ‘viscera’. I will explain why I chose it as a last name on a separate post because I will just go down rabbit holes and this message will end up being 20 paragraphs long. So trust the vision, pleeeaase!!! I (sort of???) know what I’m doing.Anyway, yeah the new name is Arya Vexera. Yayyyyyy!!!!Stick with me for a little bit plz cuz this will all make sense once the music comes out lolI haven’t put anything out as Arya Vexera yet, and I will soon! I just need some more time. I’ve been busy lately but new music is being made and I’m having the most fun making it. You can find me as Arya Vexera on my Linktree linked down below, and just hang out in the meantime.My music as SPARROW will still be up on streaming services unless I change my mind in the future. I have a Bandcamp link in my bio so you can digitally download all of the songs I’ve put out so the original recordings will still be with you, even if I choose to take them down.It has been a wild few years and Sparrow will always have a special place in my heart. I know this sounds dramatic but if I hadn’t started writing songs and teaching myself to produce and stuff, I would have been a completely different person. Creating things and putting them out into the world will completely and permanently change you and the way you process your thoughts and emotions.Whether you’ve followed me on social media, or streamed/bought my music, I feel tremendously grateful for your support. Okay yea, I would have been making music even if literally no one was around to hear it. But the fact that I have people from all around the world that are genuinely interested in me and my work blows my mind every time I think about it.Thank you so much for all of your support, I appreciate you so much you have no idea.I am really, really, REALLYYYY excited for what’s coming next, and I hope you’re going to be around for it because I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been working on. So yeah!!! Thank you for reading. Love you. <3
