This is my second project and it's all about pushing through that internal battle of hating on yourself and knowing you are meant for greatness. I really hope y'all take the time to listen and I appreciate you for supporting.

Got inspired after watching Sampha's Tiny Desk. Decided to record a couple verses live.

The Rat Race is my journal in audio form — a soundtrack for every person who is chasing cheese and has considered jumping off the hamster wheel.

It explores the tension between running it up and choosing to slow down or exit a system that profits from our exhaustion.

I wrote it over the course of the last year, while caught between the voice that yells 'run it up' and the one saying 'walk with me.' The majority of these songs were recorded late night, after working 9am to 9pm. got off and recorded got engaged to the love of my life, and even changed my artist name.

The goal is that The Rat Race isn't just an album. It's a mirror. One that asks: What are we running toward? What's chasing us? And what happens when we look to our right and decide to stop?

BLACK BOY is a coming of age project. Like the process of creating this project, the process of growing as a Black boy in America is a beautiful struggle. 

With this project, you get a piece of me. I hope that this art diversifies your palate in one way or another. 

This project was created at home with just a microphone and computer over quarantine. 

Dedicated to: the people I love, the dreamers, everyone who has been taken too soon 
RIP Gabe
