Brave Enough

Toothache

Letting go has been crucial for us in defining our sound and bonding as a band. 

It’s about how the decision to let go can be painful, because we hang on to people or situations. Although sometimes it’s inevitable to let go, in order to grow and to make space for something new.


Letting Go

Hero

Creating Honestly was a labor of love, from the first words, to what you hear today. I’ve lived many lives since first writing this album four years ago. I wrote Honestly during a time in my life when I felt lost and directionless.
I was anxiously anticipating an uncertain future while desperately clinging to past sureties.
Now, I look back and see how much I’ve been able to grow, heal, and love through the creative process.
The more I listen to Honestly, the more I realize how intimately interconnected these songs are with each other.
It turns out, the music I wrote during that uncertain time helped me build deeper friendships, stronger relationships, and live in an wonderful reality where I get to pursue my dreams. I am grateful for every note written, every joke made, every tear cried, and every moment spent creating.
I will hold these memories close to my heart forever.

Funny how when I first wrote Honestly, I hadn’t met half the people who would help grow this project into what it is today.
This album would not be complete without the dedication of so many supportive people, both to making music and to helping me fulfill this dream.

I’m grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you for listening.
