Charlie is an EP comprised of some messy, dirty, and loud tunes, created for the sole purpose to see if I could. Hope you dig!

Charlie

Wheels was recorded right after the Be My Neighborhood songs where written around 2022 in my one bedroom apartment in Chicago.

Wheels

Something Funny

Bike

I recorded this album in my one bedroom apartment in the week leading up to Christmas. Tuckie White sings back up harmonies.

Winter Wonderland

White Christmas

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

Xmas Record II was recorded in my one bedroom apartment in Chicago in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Josh Hettwer played a mean saxophone and a rude clarinet all over this thing and the lovely Tuckie White sang back up. It was made for FUN!

Xmas Record II

Little Toy Trains

This is my third annual Christmas album, Xmas Record III. I recorded everything in my one bedroom apartment in Chicago, coaxed my girlfriend sing back up harmonies, enlisted Joshua Hettwer (@joshua.hettwer) to play a nasty saxophone and rude clarinet all over this thing, and begged Mr. Adam Selzer (https://www.adamselzerworks.com) to mix and master it. This years album upgrade was real drums! No more computer drums for me. Happy Holidays everyone!

My first single ever. Be on the lookout for my next EP, Charlie, out everywhere 5.20.2024



An alarming way to wake up
You stand on your toes and put on your makeup
I’ve studied the rules you made up

And I’m not surprised you dropped out
Never went to college 
But started working your way through
Everyone you know cares

You’re running late cause you stayed up
I’ve got nowhere to be so I’m just watching
I’m not sure how I can help you
	
My best idea is to keep my mouth shut
Focus my attention
Out the window
But your drivers looking in

Everyone who knows you
Everyone who cares 
Everyone who’s heard of you
Everyone who’s here
Everyone who’s on your back
Everyone who’s seen you
Anyone who’s doubting you cares

Driver (Single)

One mic, a midi controller and one day for each track. Zoe, a record meant to be played loud during the summer months.

Charlie, my new EP, is available everywhere you stream music. 

I'm a singer-songwriter living in Chicago. I make music in my apartment and share it. 

I’m interested in all kinds of music, but I love folky stuff. 

I record everything with Logic Pro X, try to use only real instruments (with exception of drums, only recently acquired a real kit, and it's tricky when I can play it) and try to call it quits by 10 or 11, as to not disturb my neighbors. 

My past projects, The Adam and Alex Trio and Danger Pony can be found online. Check them out! 

I grew up on a diet of Motown, sometimes exclusively The Temptations. I love Margaret Glasby, Andy Shauf, CSNY, Stephen Stills mainly,  Wilco and Jeff Tweedy obvi, Ben Folds (five), Leon Bridges first record, Todd Snider, Ottis Redding, Sam Cooke, Wilson Picket, Dylan, Richard Swift, Ron Sexsmith, The Tallest Man on Earth, Midlake, Julia Jacklin, Julian Lage, James Hunter, and The Beatles, of course.

My hope is to have thousands of songs by the time I'm dead. Please follow me on all platforms and tell your friends about my music!
