Childhood^3 by El Niño
This mixtape has been a year long effort trying to examine myself as growing artist from childhood to adolescence to (an imagined) adulthood. This project spans the topics of NYC, nerdiness, my 90's youth, love, Swarthmore College, some dark times, and this artistry I have decided to dedicate my life to. Try your best to listen to it in order because it really does tell a story I want to share with you all. This is only the beginning and I hope you will all stay on this journey with me.

-My mother for just being her unquestioning loving self. Love you Mami.
-Sam Stevens for seriously listening to anything and everything I asked her to and never saying she was busy. You have been my biggest supporter.
