Baby Trans by Kookie

==This is the Bandcamp exclusive CONTINUOUS version of the Album, Each track seamlessly transitions (get it?) into the next==

46 minutes of Trans songs, All DIY and homebrewed in my little home studio <3
With features from Limited Sight Distance, Sean Chiplock (Pomy), and Dev Campbell (DevLionmanVA).

2 years ago I started my transition. 2 years ago, it seems, my life actually started for real. Emerging from an egg I kept gluing back together over the course of my 20s, I finally got to be and express who I am.

And so I became Baby Trans.

Yes. I bought Amazon Basics looking ahh skirts.
Yes. I spent way too much on makeup I don't use anymore.
Yes. I had to figure out how to get HRT.
Yes. I =BE GAY DO CRIMES=
Yes. I experienced the bliss of gender euphoria.

What finally pushed me to transition? My voice. I tried to VA a female character for a project, and I couldn't. I went looking for voice training. I couldn't do it. So I asked a cis VA to do it. And I got so jealous of their voice. That night, I told myself: "Stop lying to yourself girl" . The next day I went she/her, everywhere, put lashes on my OC and told my friends.

WAIT KOOKIE HAD VOICE DYSPHORIA??!

Yes, I still do sometimes, in fact. But every time I sing is an opprotunity for me to explore my voice, and make it sound better to my ears than last time.

After coming out at first. I thought of never singing ever again.

Flash forward by two months-ish, I decide to go to Furality Sylva, booting up VRC on desktop for the first time since I tried it one night of covid.
I see a musician's meet up, sat in a corner playing 12 strings, and built up confidence to hum, then sing as people sat around. I spotted a sleeping Time Spirit (Hi! Corbelle) and serenaded him with a Cranberries cover.
He awoke to book me for my first VRChat show ever.

The rest is history.

Now here we are. 2 years later. Performing on both VR and IRL, with people following me, sharing my music, asking me to hear their fave...

Thank you, every last one of y'all. Thank you. I dedicate this album to many people. But I dedicate it to y'all first.

This is the result of over 4 months of work on my end, and a journey through redefining my own sound.
