Who is Claude?

Some days, it feels like I’ve lived several lifetimes. Up until four years ago, I didn’t know why my life felt like a relentless obstacle course with no finish line in sight. Then, one life-altering phone call flipped the script, revealing truths that forever changed my journey. You see, my life has been… intense. To call it anything less would be criminally understated. For the juicy details, you’ll need to check out my autobiography—assuming I actually finish it one day. (Fingers crossed.)

That phone call? It marked the beginning of my self-discovery. I learned I’m a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP+), a revelation that finally made sense of my overwhelming experiences. And as I dove deeper, I uncovered a painful connection: high sensitivity often intertwines with childhood trauma. Sure enough, I soon received my first big mental health diagnosis—Complex PTSD. But the plot twist didn’t end there. Just three months later, I was also diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). It was a lot to take in, but it’s also the key to understanding the way I process and create.

I find beauty in the details others pass by—the way light catches on a raindrop, the pulse of a bass line that feels like a heartbeat, the raw emotion behind a single lyric. My world has always been deeply sensory, overwhelming at times, but also my greatest gift.

When life feels unbearable, music is my survival instinct. A hypnotic bass line is more than sound—it’s movement, breath, and the rhythm that keeps me going. You’ll find my music here, alongside my photography and writing, all woven together as part of my journey.

This website is where I process my story—a life full of ups and downs, trauma and healing, pain and beauty. It’s all part of figuring out who I really am. And maybe, if you’ve been searching for a reason to hold on, you’ll find something here that speaks to you.

 Mental health is not a “me” problem—it’s an “our” responsibility. By sharing my story, I hope to foster awareness and encourage healing, both individually and as a society. I invite you to join me on this transformative journey of self-awareness, discovery, and creation. Together, we can inspire change, challenge ignorance, and build a more compassionate world.

I am Claude—a dreamer, a lover, and an artist on a mission to creating a brighter tomorrow
