How do I title my Music Journey on my Common App?

Hi there! I'm an international student applying for a computer engineering major and one of my extracurricular includes music. I've been singing for almost over a decade and have recently started releasing music on streaming platforms.

My debut single has 10.8K streams (in less than a month) and I'm not sure how I'm supposed to describe that on my Common App? It might not be a big deal since 10K streams aren't that many considering the global standards but I still think it's noteworthy to mention.

What should I title it as?

Thank you in advance, Anu (she/her)

10.8k streams is an impressive accomplishment in high school! You can write "Singer-songwriter" for the title of your music EC. Then, you can explain the performance of your single and any other accomplishments throughout your music career. Hope this helps!
