about

This album is about my journey searching for routine, or a new groove, during the uncertain times of the COVID-19 pandemic. I challenged myself to put this EP together in less than three weeks - compose three new songs, record them, mix, master, promote, everything - independently (and with some help from Henry Godfrey).

The music is unlike anything I have played before. I experimented with new (to me) technology and effects. This was an incredible learning experience for me. I am excited to continue exploring.

Thank you for supporting my endeavors. I hope you enjoy this one!
