At the age of 32, I have been writing and co-producing music since I was 15. It has been something I hold sacred. When things got rough and I needed to escape or process . Creating songs became that place  it was so sacred that I didn't want to share it  however there is a thin line between obsession and dedication. I've been teetering on that line for years. I didn't know when I'd be ready to share but I knew I'd know when I'd know. 


I always thought about how I'd like the world to remember my amateur days should I ever go further  and spiritually  that boy that used this as a comping needed to be done. Needed to be set free. This is for me .
