Gabby Durden, who made history as the first female play-by-play commentator in the League of Legends Championship Series under the nickname LeTigress, is setting their sights on the music world.

The emo-rap artist has unveiled their debut single "ribcage (awakening).” An accompanying music video, which can be seen below, was directed by Sam Aldrich.

Durden said this about the visual:

“As someone with a varied background when it comes to creative expression–I’ve done some tv and film stuff–I felt very in my element. This surprised me a little because even after all the preproduction work, I was still unsure of what to expect on set, this being my first music video and all. But as soon as we arrived, the nerves washed away. I felt locked in. We had some amazing talents working on this project, and it was exhilarating to pitch my vision and watch it grow. I really wanted the visuals to be additive to how listeners experience ‘ribcage.’ And I think we hit that.”

While Durden was always surrounded by music as a child in musical theater and in college with a minor in music, her mother’s suicide drove them to take on a new role as a musical performer. The artist said:

“My mother’s suicide awakened something in me. I began reevaluating a lot of my life. I couldn’t keep bottling myself up. I refused to stay quiet…enough was enough. This is a new chapter. This is who I truly am.
‘ribcage’ sits in the shock of what I call the ‘point of impact’– or the moment I learned of my mom’s passing. I felt thrown into a crossroads: either collapse under grief or save myself. My draw to music felt desperate…the only way to gain control over my life when I felt powerless. ‘ribcage’ is all about that decision. To awaken. To take control."

"ribcage (awakening)" is available on digital services right now.
