"A Skeleton at a Typewriter" is a self-produced album I released at the end of 2019, celebrated in January with a live studio performance at HighBreedMusic. A solo project in every sense, I felt compelled to find out what would happen to the songs if the acapellas were let loose in the world and opened up to rebirth through collaboration. Humbled and thrilled by the possibilities we received in this remix context, grateful to all the producers round the world who submitted their interpretations. Very happy to present "A Skeleton at a Typewriter | The Remixes."

Please enjoy and pay what you can to support. All proceeds from sales of this album will be donated, divided between The Audre Lourde Project ( a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two Spirit, Trans and Gender Non Conforming People of Color center for community organizing, focusing on the New York City area) and split amongst Anti-Racism and Police Brutality Funds.
