I’m so excited to share this very chill, emotional, vibey creation. It includes a healthy mixture of deep/progressive house with a large amount of Anjunadeep influence. I am so grateful for this opportunity and huge thanks to Chris Offutt for giving me the chance to be a part of such a cool project!

A little bit about the project from the creators:
The Proton Amplified initiative is an ever-evolving platform showcasing artists historically marginalized by the music industry, including but not limited to women, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ folks. It’s my absolute joy and honor to help this baby fly.  What is most rewarding for me is the excitement and passion each artist that I’ve been in contact has about their work.  I am so happy to help drive this initiative and that the opportunity is available for these artists to reach a wider audience.  Our community here in Seattle is rich in talent and supports each other.  Seattle seemed like a great place to start and then continue our outreach.
