I am really proud of all the songs on my new album but one that has a special place in my heart is “Gravity.” I have been making music in alternate time signatures for many years now and have made several songs in 7/8 time. It can often be a bit of a jarring time signature because the measure ends just before you expect it to. Gravity is 7/8 but it is absolutely laid back and chill, with some nice funk to it. It just flows in a way I haven’t been able to get 7/8 to flow before. #cosomusic
Started some new notebooks today. Each with their own purpose. I love the excitement of the unknown and knowing my thoughts and sketches will have a home. They will be as imperfect and beautiful as my life. #cosoart #cosoartist

Good morning #cosomusic! It’s release day! I have been working on my new album most of this year and I am really proud of it. I would like to present to you “Up in Flames” In these chaotic and uncertain times we find ourselves in, I wrote the album I needed to hear right now. Here is the title track off the album, it is a party song for 2022 divided America. Help me spread the word! I hope you enjoy it!
One week until my new album releases! Excited to share this with the world! Stay tuned! #cosomusic
My wife read my latest thriller/horror novella, All Manner of Beast & Man. She couldn’t put it down and said she loved the story (but I think she trusts me a little less now).
