Big dreams brought me to the big apple to study with big names and learn big ideas but they came at a cost: Institutional demotivation, knowing too much and caring too little. I stumbled through the swamp of ideas and inaction until a likely source turned me on - the collapse of my long term relationship, the rock of my 20s and the love of my life at the time.  

This cosmic collision and dispersion of 2 formidable energies brought musical inspiration like stars in the sky. 11 songs later, my record was born. Songs took shape with different personalities. ‘Gone’ the blue dot sheltering loss and pain. ‘Sit and Listen’ a green satirical note about relationship dynamics. ‘Home’ everything you want it to be.   

Recorded in the year 2019 at Jeff Silverman’s Future Sounds (Aloe Blacc, Adele) it features New York luminaries and some of my best friends including Miles Arntzen (Will Butler, Antibalas), Tim Kuhl (Margaret Glaspy), Dylan Aiello (Elizabeth and the Catapult) and Dillon Treacy (Alto Palo, Amber Mark). To bring it all to life I connected once in again with mixing engineer and producer Ed Spear (Dave Cobb, Brandi Carlile) who seriously f*cked it up.
