MTCT Episode #37: Assessments

THE DEBUT ALBUM "EMPTY SPACES" OUT NOW!!!

This album is the culmination of about a year's work of writing and learning how to produce my own songs. I am so proud to put this into the world after spending so much of my time and effort on it, and I hope you enjoy! Thank you for listening.

Empty Spaces is about finding those gaps in your life - maybe things you feel you're personally lacking, questions you don't have answers to, and any uncomfortable uncertainties - and turning them into something positive, or at least acknowledging them. All these empty spaces are simply blank slates, opportunities for you to grow and create something extraoridinary. This album is a way for me to put that into the world, and I hope that it can mean something to you as it does for me.
