Honor of Kings

"Intimate Sketches" is a selection of 18 improvisations spontaneously recorded in my studio, during the peaceful hours of the mornings and evenings of 2018-2019. These timeframes make me feel like time has stopped, which is perfect to focus on the moment, let go of worries and just play whatever comes to my fingers. 
After 5 years of putting off this release, overthinking the value of an improvised album, I decided that my intimate voice might be worth publishing officially. I am so thrilled to finally share "Intimate Sketches" with you!
