EP RELEASED ‼️As a longtime songwriter for myself & others, the path toward finding my OWN “brand” and “voice” was somewhat foreign to me. This project changed all of that… harnessing the best of what I’ve learned to FINALLY ARRIVE✨

Many thanks are in order… first and foremost to my long time friend and producer, @noahneedleman 🎶 truly lucky to have such a talent and joy in my life, as both a champion and creative.

I would be remiss to not also mention the ways in which this EP was enhanced by the creativity, vision, and talent of so many other wonderful people, in so many different facets… @bryandimaio @rollmottle @rylandsteen @madeleine.wiley @joshwritessongs @third_block @kaseycanzanophotography @codyduncum 🎸🎵🎤📸🎥 thank you, THANK YOU✨

Hope you enjoy 🙏

https://open.spotify.com/track/1kLsuFopFju1PEokd76hAx?si=VSPxoeUvTvWRSqFHPxbOJQFinally out on all streaming platforms. @adecruse “the hood Deepok Chopra” thanks for painting my canvas with your words. Infinite ways you could’ve gone with it and you found the right one. @noahneedleman The “King of Christmas gifted me early this year with that vibe, and those icing- on- the-cake guitar parts. Cover by @apetty6985 . The last link in the chain @rollmottle I’m so happy and proud of how this track turned out. Now, literally, “I Need U to Listen”

Good news, bad news. Bad news first. Due to technical difficulties, the wrong version of this track has been uploaded to all streaming platforms. What you’re hearing is the instrumental version that @adecruse did his vocals to. There are more vocals than just the hook. I promise lol. Hopefully the real thing is ready to go within 2 weeks. The good news is Imm genuinely thankful and touched by how many of you reached out and said you were excited to hear this track. Much appreciated. Just a little longer.

Hello. Please reserve 3 minutes and 45 seconds this coming Tuesday January 24th to listen to my latest track. I’m very excited for you all to hear it. It is by far the most commercially accessible track I’ve ever recorded and I’m looking forward to your reactions. @adecrusedoes the vocal. @noahneedleman produced and mixed.

A couple of months ago, I sat down at the piano and somehow ended up playing “The Little Drummer Boy” This arrangement quickly ensued and I liked it so much, I decided to release it. Not my usual style,so I’ve skipped the “pre-save this link” procedure and just dropped it. @noahneedleman worked his usual magic on the mix and dialed the piano sound in. And @rollmottle mastered it and brought it to a whole new level. Now available on all streaming platforms. Happy holidays 🙂 https://open.spotify.com/track/5ty1SRYAPFmtzrDyzSJN32?si=1-n1hL6MQLe0oYeCkYkVyA

https://open.spotify.com/track/2N7CqC9j4Daf4TtdjuKx8w?si=NrQnqasWSwKdh7y7N-6A8g Thanks so much to @lizzyparismusic @noahneedleman and @adecruse for letting me contribute some synth to this stellar track. For the record, that is not me playing the killer Rhodes part lol. Please give it a listen.

Need some help please. My latest track (Stay(WithMe Forever) no link provided. Not shilling here), has been described as “not club worthy”, “too deep”, “too bottom driven” “generic and repetitive” Sony question to you is, “When did “dance/club” music become so soft?Last 2 years? 5 years? 10 years? Do people still go to clubs to dance or do they lay around on chaise lounges while remixes of The Little River Band and Air Supply do their best not to assault their ears. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

New track dropped today on all streaming platforms and I’m super curious to see how people like the danceable vibe of this track. Thanks beyond thanks to the incomparable @noahneedleman for the stellar mix. Would love to hear y’all’s thoughts on it. Thanks for listening. https://open.spotify.com/track/1hkJ1ucg4AYcw0Uo11EpGe?si=e4dPVnUNToqRr_nNj8m8Cg&dl_branch=1

New track “Stay (With Me Forever)” dropping this coming Friday, August 27th. Bit of a departure musically on this one. Whether it becomes a Derek Smalls-ish detour or something more permanent remains to be seen 😬
