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.

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.

Good morning ! 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!

Getting enough sleep is definitely not overrated.

Listen to people deeply. Not just what they say, but what they really mean.

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).
