What Is The Hook Going To Be?

This album is about process, vulnerability, and community.

I always knew I'd release an album, but I never imagined the process would feel as raw as this. While I've played trumpet for most of my life, learning about production, leaning into my lyricism, and trusting my singing voice have been entirely new.

I learned a lot about how to balance striving to be better and to learn more about making music, without beating myself up with perfectionism. I learned about consistency, facing anxiety, instrument-frustration-management, and finding balance in collaboration with others. Most importantly, I started to find my unique sound.

This album was recorded sparsely from 2018-2020 in West Berkeley, CA. I was working on these songs throughout the entire time of my post-grad Associateship as a Marriage & Family Therapist, while working up to 40 hours a week with clients, figuring out what proper self-care is along the way. It's been a hugely transformational two years for me, and this album speaks that.

I'm eternally grateful to all who have collaborated with me and I couldn't have done this without the support and musicianship of my friends. Thank you, this is just the first you'll be seeing of blessedassistant :)
