Coming of Age is the debut EP by upcoming singer and songwriter Kathryn D'Costa. From Kathryn herself, this is what Coming of Age is all about: coming of age was something that created itself over the last two years of my life. i had no idea that my writing would turn itself into a cohesive work of art that i would get to share with the world. this project is so inherently me that i can feel the uncertainty scaring me away. but that’s what coming of age is all about. i first wrote an ode to your existence. saying the things that i wished someone would say to me and the day i wrote that song, i realized i was my own pillar. i am the captain of this ship and that changed everything. i wrote how it goes. a couple months after when i felt like everything was simply too much and i was being suffocated by those surrounding me and i was suffering the consequences of it. shortly after, everything changed and that’s when i wrote my entire being into a song — the hard truth. if i were a body of work, it would be this very song and putting it out into the world is such an important part of the entire process of coming of age, which is exactly where i’m at. releasing an EP at 17 is not something i worked on loosely. in fact, i poured my entire being into this and i’m incredibly passionate about the opportunity i have to share it with the world. after immense pressure and the ups and downs of growing up, came Deep Blue Ocean, one of the most lighthearted songs i’ve ever written - serving as the fun and nostalgia in this realm of coming of age. sewing together the puzzle pieces of my life has been such a gift and to turn life experiences into art is something i’m so grateful i get to do, especially with what i have to say through this body of work. turning tears into melodies and thoughts into lyrics is a theme i will never quit and i hope it’s eminent when you listen. after the last tumultuous two years of my life, i have recovered from the pain, anguish, and carelessness of those around me, the world, and most importantly myself. as my final act of release, what has been mine is now yours. this is coming of age.
