On TikTok, she noticed that she was getting recognition for her songwriting. Since then, she has continued to grow her fan base and release her songs on streaming platforms.
Her music focuses heavily on themes many teenagers relate to, such as relationships, insecurity, and the difficulty of growing up.

Kiss Me
This song is one of Lefty’s more popular songs, capturing the excitement of having a crush and wondering if they feel the same way you do. It captures the awkwardness and anticipation of wondering whether a friendship might turn into something more romantic. This song has an upbeat, catchy pop sound, but is still personal to her.
Slow Dancin’
Another song that shows Lefty’s style is “Slow Dancin.” This song is softer and more emotional than her other songs, but it focuses on wanting to hold on to a moment with someone for a while longer, not wanting the relationship to end. The song’s slower tempo matches this vibe, just wanting time to move more slowly.
Thinking ’bout You
This is another song that showcases Lefty’s relatable, catchy songwriting. It is about the feeling of constantly thinking about someone and not being able to get them out of your head, like an earworm. It embodies the excitement and confusion a person feels when they have a new crush and are developing feelings for someone.
Even though she is a newer artist, Lefty has gained over a million listeners on Spotify, making a name for herself through social media and her songs. With her audience only growing, she is definitely someone to watch as her career grows.
