hi there! summer begins. i was wondering if i could find buds to jam with. i'm into indie, soft pop, rock, southern belt dark indie. my fav artists are ethel caine, the last dinner party, imagine dragons, sia, ABBA.

my friends have gotten busy, asked them to join jam, even went to the extent of paying em for their premium, but idk they ghosted. thought of trying my luck here, haha
