about

This album started coming together surprisingly fast, in a spur of the moment idea during the first days of being at home for the Quarantine in March 2020. I spent three weeks practically locked away in my basement working on writing this music.


I knew music would be a challenging path, even before moving to NYC and before the pandemic. This lifestyle is very difficult to sustain without supplemental income or support from outside parties. This is extremely sad, because being locked in that basement, having no other priorities or side jobs to attend to, I finally achieved a feeling that I’ve been searching for. I felt reason, and motivation. I felt the creative juices that had been resting in my mind for years finally come to life. True joy, of being able to create with no boundaries or limits! This must be what all the masters of art are able to achieve, this period of extreme focus and study. The intense workshop/shed period that so many of us lack in today’s fast paced and social media saturated world. I’ve never experienced this before, and who knows if I ever will be able to again.



I want to give a special shoutout to my close friends Emiliano Lasanaky, Evan Main (both featured on “Baily’s Harbor”) Tristan Cappel (featured on “The Rub”), Jamal Damien Kemp (featured on "Short Float") and Michalis Tsiftsis (featured on County Line) for all being a part of this album remotely. Your dedication to music inspires me consistently, and I’m grateful for your friendship.



Another special shout-out to my friend and manager, Clementine Martinez for her amazing album artwork. Thank you so much for working with me throughout this process, and for your patience and attention to detail.



Lastly, a shout-out to all of the people who I’ve played gigs, sessions, musicals, etc with over the past 6 years. You have all helped me grow into the musician and person I am! I hope these songs can portray that growth, and help further it.



Please enjoy this album, and as my grandma P used to say, “thank you so much” for listening.
